Debbie @ December 4, 2007 # No Comment Yet

I don’t watch TV much, but last night I found myself watching the world news. I was very disturbed by what was on, and although reports of all the terrible effects of global warming seem to be on mainstream television, I feel as if no one is listening. One of the topics was […]
