I read Julie's blog all the time and couldn't agree with you more on the quality of her blog and the topics she chooses to inform us about. The problem is, unless you have a Google or Blogger account, you can't leave comments on her site!

It just takes one person to initiate change. I really do believe that. Going over there right now.

thanks for the link. it takes courage, as you said, to launch out against these issues on a blog that tries to remain upbeat, but i feel, if one does not highlight how the powers that be are abusing the power we have given them, we fail as humans somehow. I often think twice before launching into yet another political rant, because I know a lot of visitors will go "ho-hum, there she goes again".... but how can i just blog endless pretty pictures and sweet nothings when people are being murdered all around me, while fat-cat politicians look the other way and roll up the tinted windows of their newest Mercedes? So I guess it is all about balance. I agree with you, the way this post was presented raises blogging to a new level?

Tim,
Thanks for linking to J.Z.'s post. I didn't know that such violent practices were still going on. I thought it stopped in the 70s.

You are accurate in framing her post. Not just me-centered, not just soap-boxing, but a passionate blend of both. It's so compelling.

I was so glad you put the link to that excellent post. I went there and will also give the link to a friend who is very involved with trying to end mountaintop Removal. There is a site I love the mountains site which is devoted to that issue.
