OOPS ! I am new at this and submitted the first comment and it did not show up so I wrote a shorter version and clicked submit. And both pop up. Then I tried to edit the second one to delete the repeats but the time to do this expired.
No wonder Washington, D C is in gridlock. The hot tea with scotch is delicious.~~~ModNote:Welcome. Sorry, that was a glitch, and we shall take care of it. Thanks.~~~

roddonia commented on the blog post Self-Fulfilling Prophesy: GOP Works to Make Government Unworkable
I will have to reread The Wrecking Crew. After reading all the comments I am feeling “hopeless in Pennsylvania”. It appears that we are our own worst enemy. But THE ENEMY from 9-11 is still alive & well. The world sees the U S as a country caught in a sink hole of mud, flailing about to grab any tree limb to escape. The positive and negative forces cancel one another out. With our know-how there MUST be a solution.
I HATE to give up on democracy after only 235 years.
Am “Sleepless in Pennsylvania” because I feel hopeless. Meanwhile am having a cup of tea laced with scotch…..so I can sleep.

Some of us from York, PA attended the PASA (PA Sustainable Agriculture) Conference @ Penn State University. More than 2000 people attended. One of the workshops was on GMO’s.

Solidarity worked for Poland. The trick is HOW to do this while at the same time working and negotiating a way for the people of Egypt to achieve their goals, induce Mubarak to leave now while a new government is placed in charge. This acting or provisional government can be appointed by a coalition of [...]

roddonia commented on the diary post American Strategists Would Have Us Inherit the Winds that Blow in Cairo by SleepinJeezus.
What’s happening in Egypt seems to have erupted so suddenly….. like a volcano waiting to erupt. Your thoughts on the whole scene offer a comprehensive synopsis of this momentous and perhaps far-reaching event. I, personally have tutored 2 Egyptian students (adults) who came to the U S because they are Coptic Orthodox Christians and were [...]

roddonia commented on the diary post Going to the mountains tomorrow. by roddonia.
The PASA Conference was much more than I imagined ! Over 2000 registered and people were still wandering in. The number and quality of the workshops are impressive. I attended the workshop on Marcellus Shale…..it was excellent but PA appears not to be prepared to deal with the possible and known consequences of this drilling [...]

roddonia wrote a new diary post: Going to the mountains tomorrow.
After praying to the God of Snow and checking the weather forecast, I feel it is safe to drive to State College, PA tomorrow if I wait til 12 noon to start the journey. My husband thinks I’m crazy. It’s true, if there’s snow anywhere in PA……it’s in the mountains. The PASA (PA Sustainable Agriculture) [...]

What do you do when you set foot on the shore of a foreign land? Soon I will find out. I notice the word “blog” in the top left bar. This means I need to say something interesting. Since it is 5 o’clock in the morning and still dark and very quiet inside and cold [...]

Welcome to My FDL . This is a new world for me. Accidently discovered this site via a friend. Have no idea what to do or say so I’ll think about it and be better prepared next time. There are a few topics I feel strongly about. I wonder how many people will be looking over any [...]
