Senators Seek to Extinguish Navajo & Hopi Water Rights by Wenona Benally Baldenegro, April 3, 2012 at 9:53pm.

But neither is abandoning workers to the dole, which is where green energy comes in. I spent half my childhood in Fife, surrounded by villages where abandoned coal mines has left nothing behind but unemployment. Walking to school, I remember seeing houses with all the windows smashed in and “scab” daubed in giant letters across the walls. The destruction of an industry is a terrible and traumatic event....

11/10/2011 Blog Posting by Robert Sabie, Jr.: First off, I want to say how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with The Forgotten People.

11/6/2011 New York Times: Here Comes the Sun
11/6/2011 NY Times: Here Comes the Sun By OP-ED COLUMNIST PAUL KRUGMAN: For decades the story of technology has been dominated, in the popular mind and to a large extent in reality, by computing and the things you can do with it.
