Dear Facebook flag status fools...

Stop using the flag I fought under to attack the freedoms I fought for. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Hat tip to Dr. Streak.

An invitation…

…from the Save The Woodland Park Nocturnal House Facebook group.

Please take some time on Monday to contact the Zoo, the Seattle City Council(with Sally Bagshaw who chairs the Parks committee as the key person), and anyone else you think can help!

Contact info for the City: www.seattle.gov/council/councilcontact.htm

Contact info for the Zoo: webkeeper@zoo.org

Please emphasize that they need to give us a chance to save this exhibit and that we want to work with them to both save it for the near term and also work for a long term solution to make the exhibit more energy efficient and sustainable.

There's some fatalism to some of the comments there that makes me wonder if whatever is done is going to be too little, too late, but it's worth doing whatever you can to save this unique, entertaining and educational habitat. Take a few minutes on Monday to help save the night.

Though I'm not on Facebook...

...this still sums up my status pretty well…

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick.

No one. Not in America.
