Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas has filed a lawsuit seeking to block an immigration program that legally brings Central American children to the U.S. to reunite with parents who are already here and have legal status. Not only does the policy help facilitate family reunification, but it also allows a child to avoid the often dangerous journey north. It’s a smart, and humane program that has allowed thousands of kids to embrace their parents again. So Texas and seven other Republican-led states want it shut down. Excerpted from Daily Kos

You got, we got
So I saw a Trump supporter write this:
We’ve got…
Eric Clapton
Van Morrison
Ted Nugent
Kid Rock
Them: Neil Young Peter Frampton Bette Midler The guy who sang “Two Princes” There’s no contest who wins the rock genre.
Firstly Ted Nugent and Kid Rock?????
None of their songs are on my ipod, and never have been. Funnily enough the guy who sang Two Princes, is and always has been, lol. Also his name is Chris Barron =D
Also though we (the pro-vaccinations) also have. Also there is nothing actually wrong with Neil Young (who survived polio when there was no vaccinations), Peter Frampton, Bette Midler and Chris Barron.
We also have:
The Boss
Willie Nelson
Dolly Parton (who helped to create some of the vaccinations)
Metallica
Paul McCartney
We could do this all day.
Facts are, the right could have everybody as far as I’m concerned. Having a celebrity…

Come fu eradicato il vaiolo

Già nel X secolo in Cina si praticava l’inserimento in un paziente sano, tramite un’incisione sulla pelle, di pus prelevato dalle lesioni di un malato di vaiolo. La pratica provocava una forma lieve di vaiolo ma poteva anche essere molto pericolosa e portare ad una forma virulenta della malattia che conduceva alla morte.
Il virus si propagò in Europa dal XVI secolo e, tra la fine del Settecento e l’inizio dell’Ottocento, vi fu un incremento con una rapidità allarmante tanto che il vaiolo diventò per le popolazioni un vero flagello. Provocò centinaia di milioni di vittime solo nel XX secolo, un numero cinque volte superiore ai morti della Seconda guerra mondiale. Tra i malati, una persona su sei moriva e solo a Londra morivano circa 3 000 persone l’anno e in tutta l’Inghilterra 40. 000.
Nel 1801 Jenner (1749-1823), medico di campagna inglese, pubblicòThe Origin of the Vaccine Inoculation, in…

How does community intersect?
I wrote this book in the belief that community cooperation is important. I hope, as we come to the end of my book, Stayed on Freedom’s Call, that this journey has been a valuable one for you (last week was Page 48…):
” …friends or members of my family say “But by the grace of God, there go I.”
It was generally spoken in reference to another member of the community who may have been showing various signs of the stress under which many of us labored, but were somehow usually able to hide. Individuals in difficult situations were expected to attempt to bear up under the strain as best they could, but could also generally count on some level of support in return from others in the community. There was a feeling that all members of the community were…

Creative inspiration – Keep it simple
It’s very easy to overwork something. It doesn’t matter what your craft is. We tend to overwork, overthink and overanalyze everything. The secret is having confidence in what you do.

Let it Be

I changed what I planned to publish this morning and decided on something more palpable. As I woke up, this song that many of you are familiar with popped into my head. “Let it Be,” recorded by The Beatles in 1970, was one of my favorite soulful pop music recordings back then and still is. I heard Paul McCarthy during an interview when asked about the inspiration behind this song. He noted how at that time, before writing this song, he was anxious and worried about something. His mother saw him tormented about whatever it was, and asked him if he could do something about it right then. When he said he wanted to but couldn’t, she said to him to just let it be, and the answer will come to him. He said that led to a writing frenzy with this song, and it has been…
