The New Deal

In 1935 as part of the New Deal in the United States,
the Farm Security Administration (FSA) was an effort
during the Depression to combat American rural poverty.


The FSA is famous for its small but
highly influential photography program, 1935-44,
that portrayed the challenges of rural poverty.

PlayPumps

The PlayPump Water System uses the energy of children at play to operate a water pump.

There are more than 1000 PlayPump systems in sub-Saharan Africa, providing clean drinking water to more than one million impoverished people.

The PlayPump water system is a like a playground merry-go-round attached to a water pump. The spinning motion pumps underground water into a 789,500-liter tank raised seven meters above ground.

Roundabout Outdoor is a company that manufactures, installs, and maintains PlayPump water systems throughout sub-Saharan Africa. PlayPumps International is a nonprofit that raises the funds to donate PlayPump water systems to African communities and schools.

Our Culture in the Blimp of an Eye

Feelings weep like eye lids beam in the morning sun

Beauty passes all ugly memories of the past

Truth never held from the public

Given to all to devour

Problems arise, but controlled within a touch of a magical spell

Magic happens in places never before thought of

Feelings connected through each individual living or dead

Pain is controlled through re-verse psychology

Words describe feelings, pleasure and love in ways never understood

Love encompasses all

Divine beauty stretch all of our imaginations

Politics is a game played by usually the Kings

Queens stands by the Kings

President is like a King

First Lady is like a Queen

Soul is something we are

Body is something we rent out

Mind is something we posses

Heart beats one moment then stops the next

Computers connect the knowledge of our past

Cars drive us from point A to point B

Books open up the imaginations

Lyrics flow through the stations

Poetry opens up the racist

Death is something to look forward to

Living is something of a different stroke of keys

Guitar played in the background

Movies tell a story written down in words

Music touches our souls

Communities are divided in some parts of the world

Poverty is on the rise

Rich are on top of the Pyramid

Conspiracy Theories tell a different story

Who knows who is right or wrong

Laws should be followed

If you cannot use your own common sense

Logic is important in this day and age

Young pregnant beauties ignored

So they fall

Throw away the kids

And run away

Hoping to get with their life some day

Never to forget what they have done

Cops using their power to kill the innocent ones

They never question and get any answers

Don’t they know they work for us

The people

Hidden Secrets are deep in the gutter

Search and you will find the ultimate truth to all that that is.

Plant a vegetable garden

Michelle Obama is planning the first vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt’s victory garden in World War II.

It's about time we resurrect the old fashion notion of a vegetable "victory" garden in every backyard or patio in America.

I think everyone should plant a vegetable garden. It's hours of family fun and exercise, not to mention all the great fresh vegetables you'll be enjoying.

The "Chicken" Project

Have a good look at Haiti. It is ground zero for poverty. I think I will have to agree with this article I found; that Haiti is so far gone it will need major intervention from the world body if anything is to succeed. In the meantime, there is something we might be able to do to alleviate the poverty and starvation. Send chickens! As I have written before, chickens are a sustainable source of eggs and meat, fertilizer and insect control, and cost very little to raise. Free range chickens nearly feed themselves. If we can introduce several flocks of chickens to selected groups or families in Haiti with instructions to establish breeding stations and in turn more breeding sites, the snowball effect could produce an explosion of chicken production! As it happens, I have a friend with connections already established in Haiti and we can use these connections in our endeavor. This is my goal, to introduce and sustain chicken production countrywide, for FREE! If you want to assist in this endeavor I'd be happy to have your help. Email me and let me know what you are willing to do to advance the "chicken project", and thanks for your help......Oberon.

That warm feeling

Give......and get that warm feeling.

I thought of something that might be a good idea.

I was thinking about giving......chickens......don't laugh.

You can mail day old baby chicks to anywhere in the world.

Imagine a box of 100 baby chicks arriving at a poor village somewhere.

Chickens are a sustainable source of eggs and meat and need little to thrive and grow.

Maybe we can link the "Mystery Game" idea to being able to send chickens to the less fortunate.

Everybody should have a few chickens.......they're a great source of eggs, meat, natural fertilizer and insect control, and a unique pet for hours of family fun.

A Modest Proposal

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout...........Jonathan Swift.
