A Taunton, Massachusetts woman killed herself when she learned that the bank was going to foreclose her home loan. She left a note to her family to use her life insurance to pay off their loan. This happened in July 2008. As the housing mortgage crisis worsens and more people lose their jobs, I fear stories like this may become all too frequent on the evening news.

Why are children hungry in America? The goal of American farm policy should be to promote sustainable agriculture, reduce hunger, and eliminate food insecurity. It makes no sense that any person in America should ever go to sleep hungry.

It is the United States Government’s position that more Blacks are in prison than are Whites, because more Blacks are involved in criminal activity. If that isn’t a racist statement, I have never heard one. The United States has responded to the over representation of African Americans in US prisons by suggesting that such racial disparities “are related primarily to differential involvement in crime by the various groups, rather than to differential handling of persons in the criminal justice system.” Source Letter to UN Secretary to CERD (CERD is the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination) LIMITED EDITION PRINTS CLICK HERE “Thirteen percent of all adult black men - 1.4 million - are disenfranchised, representing one-third of the total disenfranchised population and reflecting a rate of disenfranchisement that is seven times the national average. Election voting statistics offer an approximation of the political importance of black disenfranchisement: 1.4 million black men are disenfranchised compared to 4.6 million black men who voted in 1996.” Drug War Facts Felony Disenfranchisement Laws In The United States / MCN:C03EA-64D70-54211 / Impact of Felony Disenfranchisement An estimated 5.3 million Americans, or one in forty-one adults, have currently or permanently lost their voting rights as a result of a felony conviction. 1.4 million African American men, or 13% of black men, are disenfranchised, a rate seven times the national average. An estimated 676,730 women are currently ineligible to vote as a result of a felony conviction. More than 2 million white Americans (Hispanic and non-Hispanic) are disenfranchised. In five states that deny the vote to ex-offenders, one in four black men is permanently disenfranchised.

This corn field has not been planted this year. The yellow flowers of the wild mustard plant fill the rows where grain should be growing. The latest piece of legislation designed to phase out subsidies for some farmers is causing quite a commotion on Capitol Hill. According to the Wall Street Journal The legislation would limit the ability of farmers to manipulate current law to collect multiple payments, and cap payments to wealthy individuals not directly involved in farming. It would also phase out a special category of payments that provide income support, capping those payments for farmers with adjusted gross incomes of $950,000.

As the song sang it! ... “the sun shine shone brightly through my view-finder one night” ... We had some glorious sunshine and the sea view pictures were taken in “Golden Light”. .... as I am continually surprised to what I see in my viewfinder Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason. / Leonardo da Vinci
