Part 2: Bicycling coast to coast across America 2010 We need the tonic of the wilderness, to wade sometimes in the marsh where the bitten and the meadow hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe.

Becoming responsible to our environment: paper, plastic or cotton bags? "Over 100,000 birds and marine life die each year, due to an encounter with plastic debris, much of it plastic bags. In Australia, alone, 80 million plastic bags litter beaches and public spaces. That's out of nearly 7 billion check-out bags used annually.

Why continue two useless wars? Does anyone know or understand why we sent 6,200 kids to their deaths and another 40,000 brought back home without legs and arms or their minds? We can expect a minimum of 100,000 post-war suicides from combat troops with scrambled brains.

Part 3: Bicycling coast to coast across America--heat, sweat, Atlantic Ocean Time means nothing now. It slips away as easily as grains of sand on a beach. But those grains only trade places. On my bike, I change the same way--new locations in the passage of time. The pedaling becomes incidental now--like breathing. No conscious effort--only flow. The hills and mountains come and go--my legs powering over them in a kind of winsome trance.

War on Drugs: New Jim Crow--Slavery American taxpayers shelled out $70 billion annually for the past 36 years to stop drugs from entering America. Today, drugs remain abundant, cheap and make criminals out of millions. It's time to legalize, regulate and tax drugs. That would stop crime, young dealers, deaths and stop supporting terrorism.

Part 2--An Examination of the Tragedy of the Commons: Pollution Results: The chemicalized Mississippi River creates a 10,000 square mile dead zone whereby most vertebrates cannot survive. Many of our lakes suffer 'acid rain' that destroys the ecological balance within them.

Denver, Colorado: utter futility of Governor Ritter and Mayor Hickenlooper shedding clothes Denver, Colorado--In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man becomes king! In an insane asylum, a rational person with common sense cannot survive. In Colorado, lucid thought flies the way of the carrier pigeon! (Now extinct) Rational actions by our leaders plod slower than a mud turtle on his way to Texas!

Part 7: overpopulation in 21st century America--quality of life in an overcrowded world If the death exhalations that brood the broad towns in which we so fondly compact ourselves were made visible, we should flee as from a plague. All are more or less sick; there is not a perfectly sane man in all of San Francisco."

Part 3: GROWING CATASTROPHE FROM IMMIGRATION ON BLACK AMERICA A Black American Robert said, “The pressure being brought upon Black Americans is tremendous. How can those in congress not expect an explosion from Black America, much like, if not worse than, what occurred during the 60's?â€

Iraq War Based on Fraud Against American People Every American soldier's death in Iraq is based on a lie. Every death did nothing to protect or save America from terrorism. Bush's war created more terrorism. Bush proves the most immoral and unethical president of all time.

Part 2: Bicycling coast to coast across America--middle section and funny "Listen son, quit feeling sorry for yourself. Ain't nobody cares about your iddy-bitty feelings. If'n you ain't tough enough for life's hardships, git yourself a good pickup truck and let the engine do the work"but don't sit out here in the middle of nowhere crying. Did Genghis Kahn cry? Did Napoleon cry? Do you think John Wayne cried? Cowboy up, ya hear?!"

Mass immigration devastating black America Unfortunately, for the past 20 years, both individuals failed Black America. Reid and Pelosi encouraged, without batting an eye, the slave labor invasion from Mexico. Both voted for insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring of jobs that displaced and undermined millions of Black Americans.
