AP: No bills passed NY State Senate in January

Posted on February 2, 2009 by iwilder

Comments from KW: For years, all the good, “progressive” Democrats in New York would blame all of our problems on gridlock, because the Republicans held the State Senate. Funny thing. Now, the Democratic Party controls the Governor’s Office, the Attorney General’s Office, the Assembly and the Senate. Still, amazingly, the Democrats have not brought us […]

Michael Phelps: Swimming success; ADHD; and marijuana no surprise

Posted on February 2, 2009 by iwilder

KW: I do not think it is a great idea to smoke marijuana. The fact that it is illegal, means that there is a shady, black market for the substance, which using marijuana will support. And, I have known people that smoked marijuana a long time, and you can tell. Still, as  a green and […]

Reflections on Reverend Lowery and embracing what is right…

Posted on January 25, 2009 by iwilder

Posted on January 22, 2009 by iwilder

Bernie Madoff did something very wrong. He stole resources from people. He stole resources from charities and foundations that affect people in need. Though, he is now out on bail, living in his fancy apartment in New York City. What should a peace activist, who believes in non-violence, wish for Bernie Madoff? Perhaps, a fair […]
