Obama wins?



After a closely contested election process my prediliction is that Obama wins because that is the only outcome that makes any sense to me! Mitt Romney has been a candidate that seems to change his position to capture votes. For some he is a very reasonable guy, but it would seem that the price he had to pay to get support from the money people deformed his character beyond recognition. He does so many about turns that it is hard to know what his predeliction really consists of!

WOMAN WALKING 800 KMS TO OTTAWA ARRIVES IN KINGSTON


November 5, 2012  -  NEWS UPDATE:     
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
 
WOMAN WALKING 800 KMS TO OTTAWA ARRIVES IN KINGSTON
 
Kingston - Grandmother Wendy Hoy, an entrepreneur, left her work to tread on foot bringing a message to Ottawa about the risks associated with electromagnetic radio frequency (EMR) emissions such as those from cell phone towers, Wi-fi and Smart Meters.  The 57 year old left her home in Port Franks ON September 20th, motivated by the impending construction of a telecommunications tower in her own home town and a friend who was forced to quit working as an airline pilot due to electro-sensitivity. 
 
Many communities along her walking route have played host to Ms. Hoy, her dog Dasher and driver Judy Watt.  While some towns have organized rallies, flash dance mobs and educational meetings for surrounding communities, others, like Oakville, Mississauga and Uxbridge, have held Town Hall meetings to discuss the issue of Telecommunications tower construction in their communities and the associated health risks with Municipal Council members and their MPs. 
 
Hoy hopes to meet with Mayor Gerretson and MP Ted Hsu to share information with Council members and the rest of the community.

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
