Aldo Leopold: "We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."

I think we should give up on
Submitted by Ehver Green on Wed, 04/16/2008 - 2:27pm.I think we should give up on the local connection. It's pretty sad, actually. The policy, well, there isn't one, so it's left to the 5 people listed to the right to decide. That's bad news.
I have no flippin' idea how this can make it to the front page by merely mentioning Olympia. But... =(

“While we were at the protest in Berkeley from 12 to 4 p.m., a white Volvo drove by and a man spat upon CodePink,” Kelley wrote in an email to MAF’s Melanie Morgan. “They chased him down the street and got into a verbal altercation. The police were NOWHERE in sight.
“That’s not the best part, ready for this?
“Medea Benjamin yelled and I quote “Marines!” She actually yelled for our help because this man had stepped out of his car. I even asked her if she was yelling Police and she told me, “I said Marines” then put her arm around my friend Allen (the Marine Vet). Ironic?”
