Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is one of the bravest men in the world. In April of 2012, he went to Fukushima, Japan, to see for himself what was going on with the damaged nuclear reactors. Then, again showing great bravery, he issued a press release and asked for action to reduce the danger.
If he runs for president, I will vote for him based on his bravery and honesty.
The EPA has informed people to limit consumption of fish, due to contamination with mercury and other toxins. It is good that they keep track of this, and are informing the public. But shouldn’t the EPA also be working to get the mercury out of the fish? To create legislation that bans putting mercury in our lakes, rivers, and oceans? To prosecute and fine those who are polluting fish, one of the healthiest foods on our planet?
Cancer always has a cause, or causes. It doesn’t “just happen”. It used to be a rare disease. Now it is an epidemic. We are surrounded by things created by humans that cause cancer. We shouldn’t be surprised that cancer touches all our lives. We should be surprised that more people aren’t getting angry and doing something to stop it.
Here is a link to a conservative list of things that are known to cause cancer, and things that probably cause cancer from the American Cancer Society: http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/CancerCauses/OtherCarcinogens/GeneralInformationaboutCarcinogens/known-and-probable-human-carcinogens
Health, happiness, and long life. This is what it is all about. What we want for our family and friends, what we want for ourselves, what we want for our world.
The intent of this blog to collect and express information that will help us all have healthier, happier, longer lives.
I have been wanting to speak my mind about some things. And to tell the world about issues that are mostly hidden. Starting today, I will.
On March 11, 2011, the Fukushima disaster happened. It is continuing to contaminate our planet, including our air, water, and food supply. Who is doing anything about it?

My son and I love the Rescue Bots toys, and the Rescue Bots Cartoons. They are exciting, mechanical, fun, and non-violent.
We have almost all of the toys. Today I purchased the Electronic Mobile Headquarters, mostly because I love the figure of Cody Burns that comes with it. It actually looks like the boy in the Rescue Bots cartoon! The problem? The Mobile Headquarters is a truck, and on the cartoon it is large enough for the Rescue Bots and their human partners to fit inside. The toy, however, is not large enough to fit even one Rescue Bot inside. It does come with a lower quality smaller Optimus Prime, which Cody can ride in, and that one fits. But all the rest of the Rescue Bots that I have purchased in the past year are too big to fit.
ACTION STEP: At my son’s request, I contacted Hasbro and asked them to make the Mobile Headquarters bigger, or make transforming Rescue Bots smaller, so they can all fit inside. I don’t expect them to do that any time soon, but at least they will have been informed of the problem.
8/29/2012: Here is the response from Hasbro customer service
“Thank you for contacting Hasbro Customer Service and for your kind words regarding the Rescue Bots show and toys!
I appreciate your taking the time to share your feedback with us in regards to the Mobile Headquarters.
Your comments are extremely important to us. I will share your concerns with our management team so that they are also aware of your concerns.
Please do not hesitate to contact us again with your feedback. Have a fantastic day!”
Rating: I give this toy 7 out of 10 stars.
