Broken marriages, drug and alcohol abuse, increased violence, even suicide can be a result of foreclosures and losing a home. Sounds a bit like PTSD, doesn’t it? This is the human cost behind the current wave of foreclosures, which is so often masked or ignored, hidden behind statistics and numbers.

Sheriff deputies in southern Californioa have killed three tribal members on Sodoba land recently. Things are so tense now that Department of Forestry officials are refusing to go on the land without police escort.
“There are better ways to solve these problems than by bringing in the 7th Cavalry and wiping them out. I would say we are in a war right now,” said Robert Salgado, Soboba tribal chairman and a cousin of those killed.

Gay and lesbian couple might be able to web as soon as next month. Been a long time coming. Property rights, hospital visitation rights, there is so much from a legal standpoint that marriage guarantees. Any couple joining into a committed partnership should -and deserves - such rights.
(We are now officially moved back to California from CT and this is my first blog post from our new place!)

Actually, I think this is a fine idea — as long as they only use computers that they legally own.
This continues the move of war into cyberspace, in this case, if attacked, then flood the attacking computers with so much traffic they become useless.

Yet only eight states have laws that prevent lower municipalities from banning solar panels. Arizona just passed regulations prohibiting homeowner associations from blocking solar, yet at least one such association near Phoenix says they will continue to block solar any way they can. In a Land of Sun, this is myopic madness.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some say solar panels are ugly, and maybe they are (however the aesthetics of solar is improving fast.) But consider this, maybe a homeowner association in Arizona with 500 homes, all with solar, generating most if not all their power is a thing of beauty too.
