Gov. Chris Christie repeatedly apologized to the people of New Jersey on Thursday, saying that he was � ??embarrassed and humiliated� ? � by revelations that a top aide and appointees ordered lane closings on the George Washington Bridge to deliberately snarl traffic as an act of political vengeance. Just as the news conference began, the United States attorney� ??s office announced that it would open a preliminary inquiry into the matter. The governor said he fired his aide, Bridget Anne Kelly, a deputy chief of staff, whom he called � ??stupid� ? � and � ??deceitful.� ? � Her deception led him to mislead the public, he said, but he did so unwittingly.

"The book is very well written...very important in this individualized capitalistic illusory world that enslaves us all within its tentacles and forces us to believe that we are atomized and disconnected beings. Indigenous Lakota people end prayers with "Mitakuye Oyasin...all my relations..." An ancient African proverb states, "A person is a person only because of and with others..." This instructive text is very useful for us living in what we are always told is the modern world, because it reconnects us all and reminds us that ultimately, the endless circle of the Universe binds and connects us all and the Earth is Mother to us with no hierarchy...the ones at the bottom matter the most...like the ants who build mounds and hills, all working in unison and harmony...the book teaches that we were created for community and our destiny is organic community...anything else is doomed..."
