I am still on holiday and am finally able to access this now. I am so happy to see that everyone is tuning in and speaking up!

So much has happened over the past couple of weeks on the international front and I, happily, have turned off the telly and stopped watching the news. It just gets me riled up. That and it the caffeine that I had the other day has me bouncing off the walls with opinions.

I wanted to just say that I believe that it is NOT futile to make your voice heard by writing MPs and corporations. After all, think about when the people started to boycott McDonalds when they were still using styrofoam containers in North America. Now they don't because they were afraid the boycott would cause them to would lose money. They caved to the consumer.

The same could be said for the government. While they don't appear to be listening, if enough people complain, they would listen. Try not paying your taxes in protest... see how far that will go. But it will have to be unified. If large groups participate, they couldn't prosecute everyone!

Well, must go... My niece and nephew are here reading over my shoulder and I should get back to them. I just took a few minutes to show them what they can do by speaking up. These blogs have created a voice for those who thought their voice was not being listened to!

Cheers!
