I so appreciate it! Yes, I believe we are, indeed, living at a historical moment. We have got to stop this somehow - take a stand that says spraying poison on people is not an acceptable path, not a method of viewing people we want adopted. It says so little about the worth of people, and that is why we will keep fighting. We believe our fellow beings are worth so much more than this. Your note has truly brightened my day, Mary Anne. I am very grateful for you! Mim Dear Mary Anne,

We must not give up. I feel it is a moment in history when we have a chance to push back against some very real evil. It is a time to protect other beings, perhaps with more energy than ever before. Part of aligning ourselves with this spirit, too, is finding a greater appreciation for each other's gifts. You have gifted every one of your readers with a picture of your own life and beliefs.You have shown us your kindness and concern. I am in awe of what you are doing. Again - can't say it enough - thanks. Mim, the number of incredibly helpful articles you have written is just wonderful. We must not give up.

This is a great example of what Naomi Kline discusses in her book, Shock Doctrine. In effect, an "event" occurs, and this gives the government or private industry a moment of opportunity to make drastic changes while people are confused and disorganized. The event here leads to widespread applications of drugs on the populace. This is involuntary medication and is banned or becoming very unpopular in most countries. We need to take action: call the governor, call your elected representatives in California, get your city to ban the spray. Then encourage a friend to do so. Pay attention and play it forward.
