About Me
- Name: Pam
- Location: Vermont, United States
Before the onset of ALS I kayaked rivers and the ocean, hiked the Green mts. of VT and was moderately successful as an artist. I can no longer use the pastels, colored pencils and papers I so loved and now paint with the help of my computer to express the musings of my mind. Every day is a fight to hold my disease in check, but each day is also a gift. I fight my battle with the help of my wonderful family and friends, and my husband who sticks by me with love, help with the things I can't do on my own, and humor.

Beautiful construct, Pam. I remember Jimmy Carter's call to action 20 years ago: "the moral equivalent of war." Unfortunately, it was not heeded.
This is a great piece that sadly will continue to take a back seat in the political arena. You rock Spike! HUGS
When Clinton & Gore ran the first time, they came to Pennsylvania on the campaign trail. Our family worked the campaign stop, and my son wore a t-shirt with planet earth & the ozone layer. A series of photos of the earth, with these captions: Ozone/ ozon/ ozo/ oz/ O!
Al Gore looked at it & said to my son, Great shirt!
Your art has a similar theme--isn't it sad that we do lack the POLITICAL will!
Message in art.
Very interesting construct! Yes, very true.. we only lack political will and international will.
Peace,

Yes!
I'm frustrated too, because there is little else I can do as a U.S. citizen living in the cold north to reduce my carbon footprint. Perhaps replace ALL our lightbulbs with fluorescents. We're thinking of joining a biodiesel co-op and going that route. But otherwise ... I walk to work most days and try to walk many other places too, buy locally grown and minimally processed and wrapped food as much as possible, buy most of my clothes second hand at the thrift store in my neighborhood, don't fly ...
I have to quote Dar Williams here: "The world's not falling apart because of me." So what can I do?
And I think the rest of the world is doing a lot too. It's the federal government of the US that lacks the political will.
Wonderful post, Pam. It should be on the cover of Time. Al Gore should've been President. Six years later we're six years behind. I'd wear a T-shirt with your creation on the front, proudly.
Isn't it incredibly sad that Bush was elected a second time! (the first time shouldn't count).
That is wonderful Pam. You continue to amaze me.
