America's energy "problem" |quote | Frank M. Currie
UPDATE 14 march 04 | Asserting that use of so-called "alternative" energy sources are not pie-in-the sky, the Taipei Times reports about General Electric's buy out of bankrupted AstroPower corporation's assets and debt, may be a harbinger of profits down the road for this resource | This purchase has not been the first solar power resources for GE, which follows in the steps of another petrol giant BP, which has been promoting solar energy development more agressively for some years now | My question is, when do these beheomoths plan on sharing their wealth by making it available to consumers at affordable prices? 11 march | values for caregivers |
"...during my second year in nursing school, our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the building?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorthea. poem

Once disposed of in this fashion, it would then be considered to have never existed at all...and reality was considered to have never been otherwise. Reality is quite bendy-twisty, flexible. In this sci-fi hell we're living in, truth sometimes just doesn't stay true, and often seems to pass into a state of irrelevancy, of unbeing. The facts change: but the factors stay the same.
