Karen wants me to use the comment option (criticism is hard, I don't want to be distracted by the comments.)
Paul said I'm not saying enough (Keep following. People will get it sooner or later.)
Dave said not enough about him (give an inch:-)

This blog project is not about me AND it's only about me. In this medium I'll share information. I am a person who can think about one subject and be perfectly okay with it when I discover both viewpoints make sense AND I believe in them both. The issue is what I do about it AND what you do about it.

I'm a nurse. I know that there are situations where one must simply provide comfort. This is not that time. We must give (and take) medication that causes discomfort. We must change our way of doing things; All of us - from the heads of the corporations that are doing business in Will County to you and me. While I think that all hope is lost for the way things were I have hope that we can transition to a new way of life. I want you to help us get back to life. We need to take care of our air, water and food.

I am a critical care nurse and I can see that the situation is dire.
