LI School in national spotlight: Should students be suspended for “Tebowing”?

Posted on December 16, 2011 by kwilder

What happened? Two students (down from four at first) were suspended from Riverhead High School, because they kneeled in a hallway, in a stunt and/or tribute related to Tim Tebow, who kneels on the football field. Is suspension appropriate?

Obama Speaking on Economy & Deaths Now

Posted on August 8, 2011 by iwilder

IW:   Just got a call that Obama is making a speech about the economy (and maybe the 30 Americans who died in Afghanistan.)  He is singing the same song.  He continually refuses to address that our economy is going down the toilet because he has expanded the bad wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to […]

Nader’s Warning to Ratings Agencies

Posted on August 5, 2011 by iwilder

Now your lobbyists are pressing members of Congress to weaken further the provisions affecting rating agencies in the Dodd-Frank law in ways that will raise the risk-consequences for the savings and investments of innocent people. See the strong critique of your looming downgrade by arch-conservative columnist Holman W. Jenkins in the January 27, 2011 Wall […]

Hope you will read the rest of the story, and visit our new website, Peace Couple: here. Duchess Susanna writes: Did you see the rude headlines?

Kimberly’s thoughts on the Anthony Weiner incident…

Posted on June 17, 2011 by kwilder

While former Congressman Anthony Weiner and the world were deciding if he would stay, be fired, or resign, I did not want to chime in. I felt like I did not have enough information, and that most major party politicians are not worth my reflection, anyway. Also, I did not want to distract from the […]

MLK quote was real enough! Don’t let the haters take the message away…

Posted on May 3, 2011 by kwilder

Somehow, those of us who believe in peace are easily shamed and/or thwarted by the right-wing. Don’t let them take away the energy of Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings, or our grace in eschewing hatred, just by saying that we got a quote wrong. Martin Luther King, Jr. did say:

Serially Sane Welcomes Your Posts

Posted on April 13, 2011 by iwilder

Everything seems to be shifting: the planet, politics, the demographics of nations along with their leadership, attitudes, technology. Change is exciting, scary, depressing, exhilarating, curious, and returns us, no matter how old, to feelings of vulnerability. This unsettled feeling elicits in me a sense of losing my bearings, wondering how my perceptions of the world […]

My LI Pulse Green Energy Rant: Director’s Cut

Posted on April 11, 2011 by iwilder

IW: My article: starts: Over 30 years ago, President Carter put solar panels on the White House. But don’t go looking for them—President Reagan took them down. Bush 1 and Clinton kept them down. Bush 2 did put three smallish solar collectors on the White House grounds for a maintenance shed and the pool, but […]

Shut down the government (please) PLUS a more technical article…

Posted on April 8, 2011 by kwilder

Kimberly says: To the government and media: Shut up and shut the darned thing down. Aware citizens have been thinking of some excellent consequences of a government shutdown – it would stop the wars in Afrghanistan and Iraq, it would stop the ability for the US to continue to use unmanned drones to kill people […]

Why do we use Google?

Posted on February 25, 2011 by kwilder

Kimberly writes: What the heck is with the new “Google Beta”? My experience with it, is that instead of seeing all the google-functions I use – like “Google news” and “Google blog search”, I just see “Google – beta” and a button that says “go to Google Classic” — but, it does not take me […]

Action Alert: Help mother jailed for trying to send her children to a better school (that grandfather payed taxes in)

Posted on January 26, 2011 by kwilder

Update: If I understand the latest news reports, I believe that this woman is presently out of jail. I think she served nine days now, and one day was forgiven for time served related to this case previously. That story (with apologies from and for the judge, which I am not clear are justified): here. […]
