I'm not sure if this specific comment was directed at this post or not, but thanks! ~RRaymond Alexander Kukkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347971987435644221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599994070177946721.post-24460020849357009212012-02-01T01:19:17.730-05:002012-02-01T01:19:17.730-05:00This book is an invaluable resource to anyone who ...This book is an invaluable resource to anyone who may be struggling with feelings of depression or suicide as Kristen writes personal letters to the reader that reach out and say, "I know what you're going through. There is hope in Christ." And while this book may not initially seem to be quite as valuable to someone who has never struggled with these feelings, that would be presumptuous. Kristen's story allows those who may be on the outside looking in to recognize the warning signs of depression and suicide in the hopes that others will not come to the point of utter despair like she did. I would recommend this book to anyone who may think that life isn't worth living, or to anyone who desires to have a greater understanding of the strain caused by feelings of depression and suicidal tendencies.Portugalhttp://familynothing2dobirth.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599994070177946721.post-56738364028995690632011-10-18T18:06:56.906-04:002011-10-18T18:06:56.906-04:00Diane, excellent point.

Ted Turner is a great example of that. <br />There is, also, much misinformation being fed to the general population--hopefully that will begin correcting itself by disseminating INFORMATION instead of misinformation. The truth always comes out in the long run. We DO need more young thinkers that are capable of standing UP and speaking as Adriana has. Thank you for your kind comments, Diane. ~rRaymond Alexander Kukkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347971987435644221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599994070177946721.post-24594508898921350062011-10-18T17:53:42.665-04:002011-10-18T17:53:42.665-04:00Having just returned from a trip in remote areas o...Having just returned from a trip in remote areas of Utah and Arizona, where the air is considered among the cleanest spots in America, this blog post, and the comments of our "young thinker," resonate.<br /><br />As a note, not all wealthy people who make money as unchecked capitalists do so without a conscience. There are men like Ted Turner, who I heard on TV last night. He spoke about the importance of renewable energy, and he is dedicating some of his personal fortune developing it in New Mexico. He was a pioneer in the cable news industry (CNN), and his comments last night about green technology were along these lines(encapsulated): "If America doesn't get on board, we will be left behind. Other countries are already ahead of us. There are many jobs that will be created if Americans make green energy a priority." <br /><br />What worries me is all of the misinformation out there on this topic. We have a political party feeding people's fears, and telling them what they want to hear, so that they don't have to think about doing anything different. Heaven forbid they should stop over-consuming. Isn't that the government's fault? Hmmmm...somehow it always comes back to that. <br /><br />Important issues like this one occasionally rise to the surface of national discourse, but then get muffled or talked over by various political agendas. We need more young thinkers who are willing to speak-up and put-up before it's too late.<br /><br />It's always interesting to visit your blog, Ray. :-)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818249321432380704noreply@blogger.com
