| So, yanno? I'm a nurse. It's my job: sometimes (often) I worry about our (communal) health... |

What I watched on TV tonight at work:
Water's Edge: Profits and Policy: Behind the Rising Catastrophe of Floods
Mountain Top Removal ( Wiki article ) ( series on youtube )
I have some thoughts about it all, but cannot avoid sinking into horrid and vicious cynicism- and while that might feel good for a moment, it's not an appropriate response for someone with my education and background. I'm trained to look at this from a community health perspective: as an RN, I have an obligation to do just that. Risk management, genetics, environmental safety- those are all within my purview as a nurse. So it behooves me to stop, just a moment longer, marshall my thoughts, and organize them so that I can pursue this with some clarity.
Because right now? I'm just pissed.

Come, join my Cause, and get invitation credit (not to mention thanks!) when you invite your friends.
Yeah, ok, it's Facebook. It's the school-yard, the soda fountain, the village well, the back fence, the water cooler, the bar, it's where people gather and shoot the breeze and come together to work and party down afterwards, and it's where I'm trying to raise a little money to support making Nuclear Guardianship something we just do, like buckling seat belts and picking up trash and not hitting kids and taking care of the elders. I'm supporting the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons because I believe these weapons to be the single largest, most weighty, least acknowledged threat to the public health, and I have a life-long dream of reducing, removing, this threat to my community.
So, if you're in Facebook, or your kids are, wander on by. Join, donate, invite. I promise it's not a RickRoll.
