These two issues is belongs together. If we do not heal the planet we will not be able to heal our human bodies and mind and make it possible for everything else that lives together with us on Mother Earth. Cap-and-trade is one of many important ways of dealing with the CO2 problem and a Public option is the same. If we want to reach the objectives set for these two big problems, it is not only important to define the means but also the feasibility in strategies and costs, which has to be shared. We had a a presidential election, and if all who voted for our current President should remember what his platform is. If not, people have a very short-term memory. President Obama told people his what he knew was needed if we were going to get changes we could believe in. As people, we have to think more long-term, and Mr. Obama said and is still saying that the 'road is bumpy'. But I have to ask him where is his 'fighting spirit', which he demonstrated on the campaign trail, and where are the 'army' of all the young people that supported him. Dear Mr. President, go and mobilize them so the 'oldies' do not take 'the moment away'. But as being one of the 'oldies', I have to believe in the younger generations. At least, I feel I have done my job as the first generation of mostly all women being mothers, wives, homemakers and professionals at the same time within 24 hours of which at least 6-8 should be for sleep. Violence today is very much directed at women and children and I 'tip my hat' to our Secretary of State Mrs. Clinton on her achievements on her Africa tour. She 'bonded' with women and told the men in power that this has to STOP.
