About Me

For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

2nd Pipe Spills into NC's Dan River: ARSENIC!





SECOND PIPE IN TROUBLE: North Carolina regulators are gravely concerned that a second pipe at the Duke Energy coal plant responsible for contaminating the Dan River two weeks ago is spilling arsenic-tainted groundwater into the river. http://ow.ly/tNwWb

State regulators already warned Duke five days ago that the second pipe could fail and trigger another spill of arsenic 14 times more dangerous than what's considered safe for human contact. Duke's response: "we determined that no immediate action was necessary."

What's incredibly infuriating is that Duke's fourth quarter profits jumped 58% thanks to state-approved hikes in electricity rates for consumers. The company has already said any costs associated with the cleanup will likely be passed on to ratepayers, not its shareholders.
