Bio
I consider myself a generalist, a dreamer, a visionary, an idealist. I walk both worlds, the inner world of spirit and this outer world we all share in. I have real power, the power of a strong connection to the earth and the power of truth and resilience. I am committed to being effective in bringing about the changes that must take place in the minds and hearts of people so that we can live in peace and harmony with each other and all life on this planet. I grew up in the fifties in Lansing, Michigan. My father was a bricklayer, my mother a teacher. I have a strong identification with the working class and ordinary people, and was always quick to defend the underdog and play the devil's advocate. My strengths are being able to see the big picture and getting to the heart of the matter. I consider that I am a fairly good writer, having worked at this craft my entire life, but I once had a professor who said my true genius was in speaking. Along with most of the people on this planet, I am seriously concerned with the present state of affairs and lack of balance in the U.S. military dominance. I am presently teaching English in China. My profession is an ESL teacher, which I have been doing off and on for over 20 years. I have a Master's degree in TESOL from Michigan State University, a Journalism degree from San Diego State University with an emphasis in Public Relations, and a Library Media Assistant AA degree from Pasadena City College. Research is my passion and main past time, even before the advent of the Internet. I worked in the library at Michigan State University before my son was born in 1986, where I pursued research topics that I was interested in. When I was in my early twenties, I worked on a book on women's health care as part of a book team at the Feminist Women's Health Center in Los Angeles, doing research at UCLA's medical library that led to a new view of a woman's clitoris. The book is still available in print, "A New View of a Woman's Body." I am working again with a team of writers on another book with the working title of "Opening Our Hearts and Sharing Our Dreams of What May Be" to share our visions and action plans for the young people coming of age (between the ages of 16-21) and support them in carrying out what needs to be done to manifest the world that they want to have for themselves.

How Can We Support Julian Assange?

Rate: 0 Flag

In a recentphoto of Julian Assange with Lady Gaga, he looks as though he's being beaten down.  And there are reports that he is getting thinner and isn't well. 

This impasse at the Ecuadorian Embassy has gone on too long.  What can we do to support Julian Assange getting freed?

 Each one of has power; collectively we have tremendous power.  We need to hold some kind of event to show our public support for Assange.  He has done more than any other one individual to expose the nefarious truth of what governments are doing in the world today to deceive, manipulate and harm large numbers of people.

 We should not leave him twisting in the wind like this.  Please respond to this email if you have any ideas.  The first thought that leaps to mind is a series of star-studded events, such as concerts, or perhaps all in one day across the world.  Perhaps we could turn out at various embassies in cities across the world.  Maybe release balloons in squares across the world.

 It is time to recognize that Julian Assange is the people's hero and that we will not let him languish.

with great regret, i report that the 'people's hero' does not have the support of the people.

sadly, the people are busy making a living, or merely surviving, and have no interest in anything outside their neighborhood, beyond a humble hope to be left alone.

julian has done a great service to people who take an interest in world affairs, one in a hundred?, but they have already spoken.

console yourself that julian acted out of his own motives, and had sufficient experience to know the possible outcomes. he may yet be free, and his prison is not the worst.
