TO those of you in a cold climate….many towns are issuing code blues for the homeless tonight. IF you happen to see a homeless person and can direct them to the nearest shelter, PLEASE do. I just got the notice, code blue in effect for WNY CODE blue is the code for extremely cold weather conditions for the homeless. Please, check out your county system and where the shelters are if you are going to be out and about and may encounter a homeless person. They may not know to get to a shelter. Most shelters when cold blue’s are in effect, CAN accommodate more than their usual number of guests OR can provide food, clothing or other necessities. THANKS » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 9, 2011 @ 1:22 pm No doubt Cher. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 8, 2011 @ 10:50 am What an excellent essay Cher. This is a subject near and dear my heart as well. When I started volunteering at my local shelter last year, it was the most humbling, eye opening experience of my life. It is a disgrace the amount of homeless we have in this nation. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 7, 2011 @ 3:28 pm The Uncloak the Kochs Rally – Words, Images and Video of Democracy in Action Oh goodness gracious…when are these old rich guys going to admit, the only reason a young hottie marries them is for their money???

WOW. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 10, 2011 @ 7:59 am I would appreciate some collaboration on some new terms. I’ve been contemplating for weeks different words to describe social democracy. As unfortunately socialism has been bastardized as a bad word in many circles. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 8, 2011 @ 10:15 am Excellent ideas there PW. I agree with much of your concepts of Socialism. I’ve actually been working on something….some new economic/political concepts of my own, for my thesis. Not ready to unveil yet. 🙂 But the basic premise is we are using 18th and 19th century concepts to deal with a 21st century world. As such maybe we aren’t adequately addressing the new realities in our old ism’s. So maybe it’s time for some new ones. One of the things I’ve been thinking, is that we need to coin some new words and phrases for differing concepts. I think so many get so mired in the terminology, that they ignore the concepts and ideals behind them, so a new lexicon may need to be created to gain support for ideas. Many words, unfortunately, have been ruined due to the propaganda machine. Yet we continue to try and use them with little success of gaining support. Globalization and the cultural differences in these global markets creates an opportunity for us to be thinking completely differently, yet we aren’t. Not really, the same debates and ‘all or nothing’, black and white thinking seem to remain intact. I think we really need to start a dialogue on reframing the debates and looking at the ideas not the words. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 8, 2011 @ 8:13 amComments Posted By Abbyrose86
