1. this is very nice

I've never seen it. Thanks for posting it.

Is this true:

"100 children die from starvation every 5 minutes in america."

That's from the youtube comments.

[Guava Jelly]

3. I have no idea if it's true

But the video is a must see

[WhollyHeretic]

5. No, that's worldwide

About 30,000 children die a day from starvation and malnutrition.

16. You've got a calculator, right?

Do the math. The numbers are preposterous.

Despite what some would have you believe, hunger is not rampant in America. There is horrible poverty, but I have knowm many families whose food stamp allotment far exceeds their income. They can't afford a roof over their heads, but they have ample food.

[Lyric]

19. Not every family qualifies for Food Stamps.

There are many families, even some with small children, who can't get Food Stamps. Immigrants without legal documentation. People who have lost their children's birth certificates, Social Security cards, immunization records, etc. and can't afford to replace them--or have to wait 9-12 weeks for new copies to come in the mail. Families who live in rural areas and are having a difficult time finding transportation to the welfare office 35 miles away. Families who have been impoverished for a long time, and whose "lifetime Food Stamp allowance" (introduced in the welfare reform act that Clinton signed) has run out. Families where the parent or parents made a stupid mistake (failed to report income, for example, or failing to report a new job, or a change of household size) who are being "penalized" by having their Food Stamps revoked for a certain period of time. Single-parent families where the parent is working dayshift at a job where his or her employer refuses to give said employee a weekday off to go to the welfare office when it's actually *open*, and the parent can't risk losing the only job around to call in and go anyway.

Many of these situations are more "delays" than insurmountable obstacles, but delays mean hungry weeks and sometimes months. Some of these situations are the fault of the system, and some are the fault of the parents, but regardless, NONE of them are the fault of the children. But the children suffer right along with the parents. And that doesn't even count the thousands of "adult" families--the elderly, the disabled, the unemployed who can't find work or don't have transportation.

Food Stamps are a vital and important program, but they aren't always a cure-all for hunger in America.

7. Awesome video....

Her music touches me intimately...the intensity & passion she stirs in me is like none other.

One of my favorites:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlAeKcj-36Q


"Silence (Delirium)"

Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free

I like this one, but it is very sad and it is very touching at the soul level

[SPKrazy]

12. Here's A Band That Gets Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDNP4k0YQQo

Portishead
"Mysterons"

Not my favorite song they do, but this version is kind of cool.

Another awesome song: Roads by Portishead

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDzwJieSxe0

Sour Times by them too

[S n o w b a l l]

17. Yes...awesome!

I learned about Portishead from DU. Last time I looked for a cd, I didn't know what to get. What's best?

[SPKrazy]

20. I Really Like "Dummy"

but I've downloaded songs from other CD's on i tunes and I have liked everything I've listened to.

:hug:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

10. I think I'm sold on the CD

And, for the price of one YouTube server, you could drop a food shipment into Darfur.

I'd rather she make a thousand expensive videos, than send a couple more divisions into Iraq.

She's Canadian? I always liked that country just south of me. Nice people, good beer.

13. Excellent Video...
