    • WELCOME TO THE WINNERS CIRCLE FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER 09 (Because we all are wiiners) HELLO TO ALL ZUNE MEMBERS AND WINNER CIRCLE MONTHLY READERS. NAMASTE. THANK-YOU YOU ALL FOR GRACIOUS COMMENTS, AND SUPPORT FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. A SHOUT OUT TO THE NOVEMBER HAPPY HOLIDAYS LIKE ALL SAINTS DAY, ALL SOULS DAY, REMEMBRANCE DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY AND THE ISLAMIC HOLIDAY EID AL ADHA, AND THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS, HANUKKAH / CHANUKAH. "Hope and the Environment" is the topic this month. Do you listen to people who say we have polluted our environment past the point of hope? I don't, and I'll tell you why. There are some doom and gloom environmentalists and others out there, who, for their own misguided reasons, would rob the rest of us of hope. I believe that a hopeless attitude is just as dangerous as anything we could do to pollute the environment. Hopelessness is like a lethal nerve gas - it prevents us from seeing the kind of world we want for our children and grandchildren, and then doing what we need to do to create it. Hopelessness will kill the dream of a healthy planet quicker than all the holes in the ozone layer and all the chemicals released into the atmosphere put together. To hope is not foolish. If you look for reasons to despair, you will find them. But if you choose, instead, to look for reasons to hope, you will find them also. Why not collect hopeful signs, like some folks collect stamps, coins or baseball cards? Then, when you hear people saying that it doesn't matter what we do, because it is too late to save the environment, tell them they are wrong. Prove it with examples from your collection. Yes, there is work to be done and we will find the tools to use. Each of us can make a difference - you can make a difference!
