Perhaps I misspoke, or did not complete my thought

Chris, I'm not trying to capsulate our present problems into one administration. I believe this mound of troubles began far back - perhaps in the 20's. I think our Founding Fathers had it right, but things just compounded and rolled into one...

The more we use, the faster we deplete resources.
Sun, Nov 07 2010 at 05:03 PM EST

Let's imagine a scenario here: Many of our consumer products need specialty materials, metals and chemically designed components to manufacture and distribute a product. All of a sudden some of these necessary ingredients are not available. First...

What? You think this is new?
Sun, Nov 07 2010 at 04:54 PM EST

Fighting over land and use of land has been going on for centuries in that area. Do you think this is new? OK, so Israel put a train on tracks and won't let Palestinians use it? So what? Palestine is upset about anything the Israelis do and vice-...

John and his wife Carolyn really enjoy camping and anything outdoors. He works wood in his spare time and has great interest in building black powder relic pieces. He's enjoyed an aircraft crash survival course, Coast Guard Search & Rescue demonstration aboard a Dolphin Helo and learned to fly a small plane over the Siskiyou Mountains in the event the pilot slumps. It was intense. Experiencing life, when you are clinging to it, brings full appreciation for trying.
 
He comes from nearly three decades as a radio broadcaster. Every job in radio to have had, was his at one time or another. He pursued his business degree after leaving radio. He's a native Oregonian with a keen eye to the environment, land steward politics and potential areas that may have been overlooked by other media outlets. The present environment is rich with potential news and he's happy to be able to share some of our Pacific Northwest stories, from Oregon!
 
We presently manage an eco-friendly Rapid Refill business in Portland. We save companies and consumers money on printing inks and toners, as well as increase recycling each time a cartridge is purchased from us. As each cartridge has many more lives than the box store cartridges, we are saving the Earth one cartridge at a time.
