Same ole’ same ole’
Remember a while back, the story of the young woman with baby, begging on the subway? The comment was that she was nicely dressed and didn’t look distressed in the least, but she had an accent and a cardboard sign saying she needed money for herself and her baby. Well, low and behold, on the …

Last night, attended at the New School – a packed auditorium – the screening of the Documentary: Do The Math. The film was so well received, it got a standing O. The film is well crafted and the message is urgent. Check out the film, the film makers and the message at 350.org. It was …
