It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
And so, of course, begins Charles Dickens' classic, A Tale of Two Cities. It is that time, isn't it? Especially now, when so many would rather just not know and let their freedoms float away than face what is happening and fight a daily battle of mind and determination.
What is going into your mouth? Who picked it? Are they being paid fairly? Do they have adequate housing, health care, food for their table tonight? Your clothing that you wear, where did it come from? Who wove it? How about those tennis shoes are they worth the effort someone put into making them for you?
Our air, our water our natural resources that we are merely the stewards of for future generations. How will they grade your efforts to keep a peice of it safe for them? You, again, have the chance to do something to keep our county safe and clean. Come to the STOP LNG meeting, Tuesday, Dec 19, 6:30pm at #10 Basin St. Astoria, Union Fish Meeting Room at the Cannery Pier Hotel. Speak up and out!
