About
How much of Earth's atmosphere must we contaminate? How much of our lands and waters must we pollute? How much of our resources must we plunder, deplete? How many species must we ravage, despoil, extinguish? How many people must we degrade, deprive, destroy with toxic wastes and wars, before we learn to respect one another, to live in harmony on this planet, our Home? "All living beings are brothers and sisters, nourished from the same source of life.." -- Thich Nhat Hanh
About Me
- Name: Annamarie
- Location: Brampton, Ontario, Canada
I was born in Eastern Europe during the height of the Stalinist regime's reign of terror. Thus, I know what it is like to live under a repressive, dictatorial regime. The fear and terror -- as dissident friends and family members were tortured, imprisoned and some were executed -- is indelibly etched in my memory. That is the reason I have always been an ardent advocate of freedom, social justice, civil liberties, human rights and a voice of peace. The way I see it, war is morally wrong, regardless of who wages it, for whatever reason. No piece of land or commodity is worth the sacrifice of one human life. We are all members of the same race - the "human race" - and must learn to coexist peacefully. Our planet cannot sustain us much longer if we do not stop our wars, nukes, polluting, deforestation, and the wasteful, gluttonous consumption and depletion of our natural resources.

Unless you are really attached to blogger I would suggest wordpress.com or even better http://daria.be/

Thanks for the suggestion, April, however I am not sufficiently computer literate/tech savvy to know how to use those...
(btw, no, I'm not particularly attached to Blogger, but for the above reasons, have no choice :)

daria.be is pretty much like blogger.
if you go to their front page they have a demo you can try and you can familiarize yourself with the platform before changing over.
If you do try the demo click on manage and then click on import there will be a link for blogger there if you switch that's how easy it is for you to take your posts and comments from here to there!
Not trying to be strongarm...sound it don't I? eek
I just know that you would have many fewer hassels.
If you ever need any help let me know, I'm not a wiz but I can help you find the answers.
