I enjoyed reading it.:-)Meena Sankaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691594996452828769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-89244426875409004792009-05-15T06:59:00.000-07:002009-05-15T06:59:00.000-07:00Just so that you can do your part in safeguarding ...Just so that you can do your part in safeguarding that larger world for your children. When Texas state makes modifications in Science textbook to teach "Creationism" from the Bible rather than Darwin, our children are affected because Texas is the largest market and publishers will always follow Texas. So the larger world does intervene ... Read Moreinsidiously into our small large world :) When Supreme Court rules against a woman's right to choose, I will fight for my daughter's rights. What difference can I make? I don't know - but it took one determined father who wanted to ensure good education for his daughter that gave all our children access to excellent public education - Brown v/s Board of Education that resulted in desegregation in public schools. More recently, it just took one terrorist attack on US soil to lead to permanent curtailment of civil liberties via Patriot Act. I need to be involved in the larger world because as a mother, I can never take it for granted.Srilathanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-48427568382689124362009-05-14T19:00:00.000-07:002009-05-14T19:00:00.000-07:00And into that sweet little world, my father, let u...And into that sweet little world, my father, let us all awake!நாகு (Nagu)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11764622067696381750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-61258751813241131902009-05-14T16:20:00.000-07:002009-05-14T16:20:00.000-07:00You mean Venus?
