Creating houses out of Earth. A good place to start.

About an hour and a half outside Los Angeles in Hespiria, California is Cal-Earth. You will be amazed at these Super Adobe type structures built mostly of Earth. They are open to the public the first Saturday of every month.
What Cal-Earth is doing is amazing. It was founded by Nader Khalili, an architect, lover of Rumi Poetry, and someone who worked hard to get the word out about inexpensive shelters, he called Eco-Domes.
*Stock Plans have been approved in Hesperia City and San Bernardino County.

Bask in the simple beauty of Nature and the natural poetry of Nader Khalili.
With the ever more increasing costs of fuel and heavy loss of trees already, it is necessary to learn alternative ways of living in harmony with the Earth.

THE STORY OF CAP AND TRADE

by Annie Leonard

NOT FOR PROFIT Healthcare

Taking care of PEOPLE should not be for profit.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich is one of 39 democrats that didn’t vote for the Health Care Bill.  He didn’t vote for it because it means over 70 billion to insurance companies. It’s the wrong business model. Health Care needs to be seen as a service, not for profit.

Having insurance does not mean Care — Insurance COMPANIES make money NOT providing care. They are for PROFIT.
With the Health Care bill on the table, everyone would be forced to buy from a for PROFIT COMPANY = more money for the Big Companies that don’t care about people. It’s a bonanza for wall street once again. It’s smelling really FISHY over there in Washington.

During negotiations on the bill, Kucinch said that , “The public option shrank from 129 million to 40 million to about 6 million.”
State protection against insurance companies was also taken out of the bill.”

There’s only one way we are going to be able to rescue the people from this horrible system. It’s to establish a not-for-profit health care system. The insurance companies are just in there to make money. They are not in there to help people. Companies by there very nature only value profit. The are singularly directed at all costs.

There may be some good companies out there, but the healthcare industry (that’s what it is) is full of greed and lack of compassion. We are smart enough to come up with something different. —from Dennis Kucinich video (see above) with my comments.

Contact your Senators, contact your independent newspapers. Our country has been taken over scoundrels a long time ago. This is just the phase we are in now. It is up to each of us to Stand Up.
