I'M MAKING A SECOND DONATION FOR EBOLA RELIEF---WE HAVE TO MOVE AHEAD NO MATTER IF SOME USE EBOLA TO WIN VOTES 

10/14/2014

Republican U.S. Senator David Vitter of Louisiana says the U.S. approach on Ebola is flawed because "...it focuses on Africa." 

At the same time, the World Health Organization said today that the number of new Ebola cases in Africa may number as high as 10,000 a week by December of this year. 

If the disease is stopped in Africa, the threat of the disease spreading around the world will be dramatically reduced. 

I've made a second small donation to Ebola relief as part of what I can do to combat the spread of this terrible illness.  

Here is the Ebola relief page of Doctors Without Borders. 

Here is the Ebola relief page for UNICEF.

Maybe there are other organizations you support in the fight against Ebola. 

I have to compose myself for a time to manage the anger at political parties using Ebola as a vote getting tactic. I have to focus on what I can accomplish to help people and focus on seeing us all as connected even as some choose a mean-spirited path. 

I believe we can move forward as individuals and as a connected world. This is the course we must maintain.

We just have to move ahead even though moving ahead is often very difficult.

SOME THOUGHTS ON EBOLA CASES IN UNITED STATES---WE NEED TO THINK FOR OURSELVES AND MOVE AHEAD WITH OUR LIVES  

10/12/2014

1 Comment

 
Regarding concern and fear about the two cases of ebola in the United States, it is true that government lies (Just like the private sector) all the time, that people who cause bad things like wars based on false pretenses & economic collapses don't get punished, that we were content to sit around and do nothing despite warnings New Orleans could not handle a major hurricane, and that the government did willfully infect black people with syphilis and radiation. 

You can't blame folks for being suspicious and worried. 

On the other hand, we have a major political party that has as a central platform the refusal to expand health care to all, a Surgeon General nominee blocked by opposition from the gun lobby, a public in Texas that voted to reduce legal liabilities for doctor negligence and conservatives saying ebola is a plot to put people in camps run by FEMA. 

In the background is the AIDS epidemic not so long ago that Ronald Reagan & people on the right ignored and said was God's judgement, while many gay folks and gay allies looked the other way as long as possible saying addressing AIDS was an attack on the gay community. 

The bottom line is we have to think it all out ourselves and offer helpful views as best we are able. 

There are helpful calm voices out there offering sound medical and social practices to combat ebola. Let's seek them out and move ahead with our lives.

In case you have  family or co-workers who believe various conservative accounts about how President Obama is responsible for ebola or how ISIS terrorists are streaming across the border, I have included a picture here of nice flowers so you can just let go and look at something pleasant.

We can fight back and we can make progress. But we can't fix it all. So sometimes you just have to let go.

I MADE A SMALL DONATION TO UNICEF FOR EBOLA RELIEF---WE CAN MAKE EFFORTS ON OUR OWN TO ASSIST LARGER STRUCTURES CAPABLE OF ADDRESSING PROBLEMS WE CANNOT SOLVE ON OUR OWN

I've made a small donation to UNICEF to assist in the Ebola outbreak going on in parts of Africa. 

There is so much taking place in our nation and in the world, that we can lose sight of people having a hard time in a rough part of our shared earth. 

Here is a story about the current outbreak from The New York Times.

Here are facts about Ebola.

Here is the link to UNICEF.

Here is the link to Doctors Without Borders. 

In the short span of our lives, we can make individual effort to assist larger structures capable of addressing problems we cannot solve on our own.
Government can often be part of the solutions we need to solve big problems.
