The bitter cold and snow, yes snow, did not keep people away for the bike ride! Appearances were made by Scudder Parker (VT's next Governor) and his people powered train, Vt's next Congressman Peter Welch, and various news media. I am always amazed by the support of men in this cause and there were quite a few there today! Good time had by all, even though my toes are still numb form the cold snow....

What a great promo... I can't wait until January...
I love Seventh Generation... This video is so funny and it was filmed here in Burlington (where SG is) and at the health food store I go to! Check out theTampontification site too
So, do something postitve:
- Volunteer at a local shelter
- Donate to your local shelter
- TALK to people about DV- Your silence will not protect you... (Bonus points if you know who said this)
- Be aware of the issues

The one thing that people are not talking about with all of the recent violence that has occurred (the shootings here n Essex, the Amish school shooting, etc.) is that it has all been violence towards women and girls. Why aren't people making this connection? Why aren't we having forums/meetings/conferences about preventing this violence against females? Some say the solution to all the school shootings is to arm the teachers with firearms. This is so ridiculous that I have no words... Yes, lets prevent the violence with more violence. That's a great idea!
This should be a wake up call to this country that violence against women IS happening and will continue to happen at such alarming rates unless we start talking about it, and acknowledging that it IS a problem, and coming up with SOLUTIONS- that don't involve guns!
Rant over...

Safe Paws now has it's own journal/blog/site! You must now do these things:
1) Go check it out!
http://safepaws.livejournal.com
2) Tell people about it! (especially if they live in VT or are dv advocates, animal rights advocates)
3) Give me feedback about it- I figured since we are not a full blown organization with no money, a blog would be perfect to inform people

They were discussing LOST on NPR yesterday, mainly about how diverse the cast was. I couldn't agree more. Where else can you find so many characters of so many different races/cultures on one show? No, this season of Survivor doesn't count, and that is a whole different subject that I don't want to get into, thank you. I like the fact that they do not play on stereotypes and even have mixed couples (which is STILL rare on television and movies-hello???) I like that the female characxters are strong too. Now, all they need is some gay characters to round out the show! Anyway, just my two cents on that. Now, I must go to my volunteer job...
