Oct 30, 2011

Trail of deceit as emails expose asbestos scandal.

An internal email chain has exposed key police personnel who deliberately kept thousands of officers and their families in the dark about asbestos and other poisonous hazards in stations and houses across NSW.

Message to first time readers:

Optimism and an open mind are the most radical political acts there are.

We have thousands of energy options that can save our economy and planet without sacrificing our resources or lifestyles.

The general public only hears of the few options that line the pockets of the few that result in the suffering of the many.

The public information on this website makes it easy for anyone to clearly understand how viable and abundant our future can really be.

We are not activists, treehuggers or politicians... we are EHS professionals who have thoroughly enjoyed everything this planet and its people have offered us and want to extend the quality of life for both.

NOTE: I post articles because I think they are of interest. Doing so doesn’t mean that I necessarily agree with every—or any—opinion in the posted article. And although I often blog about disagreements, it is VERY important to understand that I agreed more with the ideas of President Obama and Dr. Chu than disagreed. (it is just part of democracy, it gives balance and is vital)

Word of the year:

"malapropism: the usually unintentionally humorous misuse of a word,"

Freedom isn't free, just ask any soldier.

From me to you - Thanks!

No I don't support the idea of never ending war in our world.

But I do have to support the people who have given me the right and freedom to complain about it.

Please support our veterans by doing anything you can to boost theirs spirits and hope.

I write a lot of this before I have my coffee.

Getting up every morning before 4am... the only thing that looks good is coffee.

I do not think President Obama regularly drank coffee we he was in senate,

but he may want to try it on his new job.

WARNING: coffee is harmful to the environment, small woodland animals and people who like to maintain status quo
