Look up info on Debbie Shank being sued by WalMart. It is the most disgusting/frightening story I’ve heard about about what uncontained greed will do. You probably already know my views on the bastard company Walmart, and, whatever your previous views this might convince anyone who doesn’t agree. I just heard the story and am fuming.

In brief: Walmart is suing a former employee for the money they paid out as part of her medical expenses when she was left nearly brain dead after a semi-truck crashed into her. WalMart claims that because the family received a settlement from the trucking company, the fact that she was under their health insurance policy does not matter. After making a profit of around 90 million dollars, they want 200 thousand dollars back that the family cannot afford with Debbie’s health care.

This is intolerable! This is the bastardization of capitalism and WalMart MUST END! We all must STOP this gross abuse of human dignity. This cannot continue. There is more info on CNN.com, facebook groups, or many other sites. Google: Debbie Shank. Do not let this insult to humanity continue.

Today, I thought I’d let you in on my most recent project:

As some of you may know, one of my classes is formed around examining the Jewish Scriptures, also the Old Testament in the Christian Bible, as folklore; we have been exploring the book as a collection of stories.  This has been an exciting process for me and has opened my mind/ears to the wonder and beauty in these ancient stories.

As part of this, I have been reintroduced to the story of Moses, the Exodus from Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea.  This story is incredible; as I’ve been exploring it, I am discovering a thousand twists and turns in the plot and character motivations that I had never been aware of before.  I’m excited to share this story (hopefully one day soon) with you and present a new look at the ancient epic of Moses.

Until next time, may all the best stories tumble your way.
