How about a refreshing change of subject?

Will it be better for your blood pressure?

You tell me!

[The same post is on all my 'doggy blogs' today... if you want details of their web addresses, just leave a message!]

If you are interested and/or concerned about animal issues, such as the one which I have quoted below [from an email I had via the Defenders Organisation], then please click on the link to them and check out their informative website.

Check out the current issues, sign petitions, do what you can to help various animals... keep informed! You could even sign up for their newsletter.

The following quote is in regard to our dogs big brothers... their forebears!

"Now, as Alaska’s voters are less than a year away from a vote to restrict deadly aerial gunning, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is using state funds for a misinformation campaign to continue the slaughter.

It’s simply outrageous. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has signed off on a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to justify the state’s barbaric wolf slaughter from the skies.

Why? Because Governor Palin and her political cronies in the state legislature are afraid that Alaskans will vote to end the brutal, unfair and unnecessary aerial gunning program."

 

Driven to distraction

Is the standard of driving improving?

Or is impatience, rudeness, 'inappropriate speed', failing to give signals, and ignoring red traffic lights increasing at an alarming speed?

And are some parts of the country worse than others?

[By 'inappropriate speed' I mean doing double or more than the speed limit for that particular road.]

Just a few thoughts and questions for you to ponder! Though, I know, there are far worse things going on within our culture... when youngsters go out to play football and get shot by other youngsters.

Gangs, knife crime, and the gun culture seem to be reported upon daily... yet no answers seem readily available. Actions speak louder than words - something MUST be done, and done NOW.

Forgiveness, platitudes, and human rights law seem to give rights to the perpetrators... but do NOTHING for those who are sinned against, the victims of the crimes.

Opinions, please!

Isn't it time the government scrapped the road tax?

With record numbers of unlicensed vehicles on our roads - and they therefore must be uninsured - isn't it time to scrap the road tax altogether?

Why not add the requisite pence, to make up the deficit, to the cost of petrol and diesel?

Now all we need to do is to sort out uninsured drivers, unqualified drivers who are causing increasing problems, underage drivers, disqualified drivers who insist on driving despite their bans, 'joyriders', and car thieves!

Just a tiny problem! How shall we spend the afternoon?

Those who drove more would pay more - and gas guzzlers would pay more too. And my bete noir, the youngsters who have just passed their tests, think they know it all, and regularly accelerate to at least double the speed limit between speed humps or chicanes would perhaps realise that they too could conserve money by driving more responsibly.

 

Question!

Are there more accidents on the motorways when the weather is bad?

Do people slow down enough when storms, heavy rain, fog, or even snow and ice are present?

Thoughts, please.

 

Spotted owls, wildlife and the environment v government! Who will win?

How about ignoring entirely the state of our roads, the traffic laws, the downright criminal driving of those who ignore all safety laws and giving yourself a less stressful read?

You must be joking if you think that our esteemed legislators [in most countries it's the same] haven't the ability to screw up everything else as well!

Big pharma has legislators in its grip, what about the oil companies, try aviation, and then there is the environment and wildlife... are they really dealing responsibly and democratically with any of the aforementioned?

Now for the bird!

The following is the first paragraph from an email entitled WildAlert which I am subscribed to... "In America's great Pacific Northwest you can find ancient trees, cascading rivers, spotted owls and salmon. These old-growth forests are American icons and help define the region's wildlife and people."

Visit TheWildernessSociety... click the link, visit the website to learn about the plight of the spotted owl, and you can also sign up for WildAlert from this page. It won't cost you a cent/euro/penny to help... yet your opinion will count.

 

Is this about road use? Noooooooooo

Do animals MATTER to you?

If so do just take a moment to sign this... Campaign petition.

It is extremely simple to fill out... and applies to YOU, if you care about animals, no matter where in the world you live.

Make your government take notice. It's about time governments took at least SOME notice of the indigenous peoples who they claim to represent in their respective countries. Politicians worldwide should, in theory, do what the majority want them to do... isn't that what democracy claims to support?
