RIP, Carter
POTUS 39, Jimmy Carter, was a great American and an even greater worldwide humanitarian. President of this great nation, he took the Oath of Office, swore to uphold and defend the Constitution and kept his word, believing in TRUTH, JUSTICE and the AMERICAN WAY.
He was a truly pious, humble, honorable winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 and a “Man” not just “of the Year” but of all ages.
I strongly suggest everyone watch A Stranger In Town (1943), which can be found on YouTube, or at least watch the final speech from it by Frank Morgan’s character, which is remarkably pertinent and topical to today’s events (he also portrayed the Wizard of Oz). Remember, there’s no place like home, and America remains the most respected and greatest nation on Earth.

Veg-a-lution
New Year’s resolution, anyone? How about one with multiple benefits for our health, planet and animals? Eating more veggies, fruits, legumes, grains and nuts helps us stay healthier, reduce global warming and stop animal suffering. It requires no exertion or deprivation. And it saves money, too.
The abundant nutrients and vitamins in plant foods keep us in top health, while their fiber keeps us regular. Plant foods don’t do drugs, antibiotics, hormones, cholesterol or saturated fats.
Best of all, plant-based eating is supported by your local supermarket, which offers a rich variety of plant meats, cheeses and ice creams in its frozen food section, as well as a wide selection of nut and grain milks. The same goes for your favorite family restaurant and nearly every fast-food franchise.
