Prayers for St Valentine, a virtual rose for all and a World Thinking Day homework assignment!
St Valentine was beaten and beheaded in Rome in 269 and buried on the Flaminian Way.
Today he is in my prayers.
I am not going to make a big deal out of Valentines Day. According to the nightly news, there will be 2,000,000,000 roses exchanging hands as gifts in the US alone. The vast majority of those roses will be coming from Columbia. The extent of my rose giving is a virtual rose to all receiving this mailing. Enjoy! Watch out for the thorns.
I will be joining the WAGGGS in celebrating World Thinking Day on February 22. I became aware of WTD last year because of a discussion with the love of my life about the differences in the pecking order and ways of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Come to find out (1) Girl Scouts climb the ranks by way of age as opposed to accomplishment and (2) Girl Scouts make a promise, "On my honor I will try to do my best" as opposed to the Boy Scout oath requiring the statement, "On my honor I will do my best." For now, I will spare you my opinion as to how I believe the two different oaths have an impact on our lives.
The World Thinking Day homework assignment is for California girls and boy s only. Your homework assignment is to start thinking, today, as to why you are NOT participating in the political process that will impact the way WE will be able to do our work, what WE will need to do to stay in compliance and put us in harms way by way of placing our power into the hands of those far removed from our homes that will only make it harder and more expensive for us to survive. CA-SB412 is doing just that.
A hate of politics is not an acceptable answer. I hate politics and since being tear gassed and maced in Harvard Square in Cambride, and tear gassed in Washington DC, during protests against the Viet Nam War, outside of voting and an occassional debate have steered clear of politics.
The state should be involved in the licensing of a profession if harm to the public is an issue. SB412 does not address that issue. My position regarding SB412 is here. Even more important is the point/counter point issues following my statement. Those are the only real issues WE as practitioners or consumers need to be concerned with.
Here, you will find some letters written by folk in opposition to SB412. Here you will find my own writings to the good Senator as well as links to other writers. Keith Grant has an incredible amount of information. Especially important to address immediately is the Chiropractic language one may read about here.
After you have read the materials above, write a letter to Senator.Figueroa@sen.ca.gov and to all Appropriations Committee Members: assemblymember.walters@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.nakanishi@assembly.ca.gov, assemblymember.DeLaTorre@assembly.ca.gov, assemblymember.chu@asm.ca.gov, Assemblywoman.Runner@assembly.ca.gov, assemblymember.emmerson@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.Oropeza@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.Bass@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.haynes@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.ridley-thomas@assembly.ca.gov, assemblymember.berg@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.Karnette@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.yee@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.Saldana@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.leno@assembly.ca.gov, Assemblymember.ron.calderon@assembly.ca.gov Get on your own assembly persons radar by sending a copy of your letter to them. To find out who that is, go here.
There will be more help forthcoming to help you be able to complete this assignment including links to those who support SB412 so you will be able to formulate a balanced opinion. Your forwarding this task to as many folk especially those who are not associated with the larger organizations will be greatly appreciated.
