Citizens confidence in government is in a downward trend since the last presidential election, and disillusion and disengagement continue to spread. Why is this happening, and how can we stop it?
Frances Moore Lappé is the author of sixteen books, including the 1971 three-million-copy bestseller, Diet for a Small Planet, has some suggestions.
Lappé reveals an emerging trend that stands in marked contrast our current “thin democracy.” She explores developments from clean election initiatives to fair trade economies, from evolving standards of corporate accountability to emerging forms of citizen involvement. Lappé submits that there are signs of a burgeoning new worldview that empowers individuals and emphasizes community. She calls this new alternative “living democracy” and challenges us all to find entry points for involvement with this historical breakthrough.

Two adorable cats (ages 2 and 3) need a loving home by Thanksgiving
October 24, 2007
Two adorable cats (ages 2 and 3) need a loving home by Thanksgiving.
Orion: He is the man of the house. QUIET, sweet, friendly and responsible. He is always on his best behavior and keeps an eye out for his little sister.
Zephry: Very friendly and playful once you get to know her. She can be a handful. Inquisitive and sweet. She will climb on your shoulder and give you a kiss; will run after you when you get home and purr.
You will not get bored with these two around!
Reason for adoption: Moving in with fiance who is allergic to cats.
