Woman Dies in Riptide, Amagansett 2010. Woman Drowns, East Hampton Village Beach 2012. Off Duty Lifeguard saves man from drowning, Montauk Beach 2012. Most drownings only take a few minutes. The best resource we have for a drowning victim is the closest lifeguard. Why is it that only a select few are notified of water rescues? If safety is our top priority then all town and village employed Lifeguards willing to respond to water rescues should be notified of water rescue near them.

We are a nation with problems. One of these problems lies in the ability of corporations like Monsanto to throw vast sums of money at Congress to bend the law to fit an underhanded scheme. Tell Congress that we have had enough- consumers deserve the right to know if what they are eating contains under-researched GM food substances-- after all, it is your right to know what you put in your body. Label GM foods now!

With all of the thousands of flights that happen every day, animals die. Wouldn't those eggs be better with some fresh fruit than an anemic piece of meat? Certainly humans can go 6 hours or less without eating meat.

Although there is a National Marine Sanctuary for Humpback Whales in Hawaii, the Sanctuary has no regulations or protection for these endangered whales or their habitat. Hundreds of thousands of whales are dying annually from net entanglement, vessel strikes, military Sonar and other acoustic impacts, pollution, and fisheries by-catch. There are other human caused threats to whales including habitat degradation, and ocean acidification. The State of Hawaii co-manages the “Sanctuary”. Local fishermen have been pressuring State politicians to reject all regulations for the sanctuary, leaving whales and their habitat unprotected. The state politicians need to hear from the rest of us who do want regulations. Published research documents that our Ocean ecosystem is dying, and that protection such as speed limits, No-take Marine Protected Areas and pollution controls do help significantly. Help us be voice for the whales and get some protection for this endangered species in their mating and nursery grounds. What's the point of having a sanctuary if it's not safe?

We are all responsible of the future of our kids, whether we have, we are planning on having or we simply want a better future for the next generation. So, it is important to denounce societal behavior that can put them at risk.

Hats should be allowed in school, because I use hats as a way to express myself. There should be a limit, I understand, because if a student goes to school in a ski mask and does something illegal, the police will have a hard time catching him/her. A fedora, for example, when worn the way it was meant to doesn't even cover your eyebrows, which isn't a problem. For more information, call or text me at (775) 342-3898.

Our animal control and shelters are being overwhelmed due to the overproduction of puppy mills. Which means they can not be used for their original purposes. They were created to take in strays until their owners can claim them, (or re-home them, if not), and to save pets from abusive conditions. What they are now being forced to do is EUTHANIZE MILLIONS OF PETS EVERY YEAR. This is not humane and is no longer acceptable. PUPPY MILLS ARE GLUTTING THE SYSTEM!

For over 16 years the California family court and probate division has ignored my documentary evidence and witnesses. It is time to replace this system.

Scientists can’t control much less plan for all the possible reactions to their manipulations. And they don’t know if they can fix what they broke. Do you know anyone with Parkinsons? Scientists state there may be a link to pesticides. Did anyone see that consequence coming?
