"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle
I had my taxes done yesterday...and I am getting an obscene amount of money back. I guess the government passed a bill stating that all adoption credit is to given at once rather than over a period of years. Is anyone else as suspicious of this change as me? I am thinking the guv plans to remove this adoption credit all together, so they paid it all out this year, thus allowing it to be shut down...what do you think?

The way it was explained to me was that rather than the credit you get the actual money back in a refund. And yes, it's all being done this year because the adoption credit expires at the end of this year and will (probably) not be renewed. At least that's the way I understood it. So yay for big refunds while it lasts.
