Every animal has his or her story his or her thoughts daydreams and interests. All feel joy and love pain and fear as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.

I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than I should think at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words for good or ill can now so easily reach the millions.

One little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. Many people giving some of their time can make history.

Unfortunately our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.

In all her history from the formation of the federal government until the hour of secession no year stands out more prominently than the year 1858 as evidencing the national patriotism of Virginia.

This is the story of what a Woman's patience can endure and what a Man's resolution can achieve.

Honestly I didn't have the patience for biology or history in an academic sense but I always liked the kind of big questions.

I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting which is a style of parenting that... basically the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.
