For those of you that faithfully read my blog, many thanks! I enjoy writing, will continue to do so as long as stories pop into my already overcrowded mind. Sometimes all it takes are subtle hints or smacks in the head(oops should of had a V-8), to let some of those fond and not so fond memories surface. I love to write everyday, yet my schedule does not always allow for this freedom. Well it does, but then there would be NO SLEEP! However you arrive at this blog, the good thing is...you do! Many find the link on my facebook page, others have bookmarked it to there favorites, some I am sure know the address by heart. If facebook is your favorite means of finding the link I have a question. Have any of you reading my facebook page seen the comments going back and forth about Glenn Cheney's article? I am providing you with a link to please read Glenn's article, it is fascinating, worth the time and makes you think....even if you do not agree!

Perhaps if you read the facebook links as well, you will see the controversy erupting. Point being, I am not asking everyone to agree, just read and weigh in but please think and ask yourself a few questions. Do you know someone that has or has died from environmental toxins? Did you know that the Sprague-Franklin area of Connecticut is called "a hot spot" for cancer? All the more reasons to change.
Although it isn't always a cancer, there are numerous other devastating and debilitating diseases. Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis to name a few. Fred's News had its share of patrons diagnosed with these diseases. Many had spent there lives along the river, using it for recreational purposes as many of the giant mills along the river spewed toxins from within, into the once pristine waters provided by Mother Nature. Although we are more conscious of the dangers present, mankind continues to pollute in the name of progress and profits!
Huge companies genetically modify our foods, "we produce a larger more abundant crop, we feed more people, they make much larger profits!" The "bean counters" have it all figured out..."we may loose a few, but the profits are worth it!" Another question comes to mind, "Are the profits monetary to the company or does it profit mankind and its survival?" Yes, because of overpopulation, "loosing a few" should help our world! At what cost? My friend Richie says let Mother Nature take her course! I agree, but only if Mother Nature is allowed to act alone, not some money hungry company out to "better my world" without first checking the consequences!
No, I am not saying we shouldn't accept progress. As with all progress, there are pitfalls, some avoidable. No, I do not have all the answers to the millions of questions regarding chemical use, genetically modified foods, nuclear power and the list grows....but I say read and educate...never accept if you doubt...question the reasons behind the whys.
