Average Joe Buckeye Blitz cont. <\/strong><\/em> Did a series of whistle-stops along Lake Erie in the Northeastern part of Ohio. In Conneaut, I was on WWOW’s Louie Free Show<\/em>. In talking about the environment, Mr. Free said that by letting what some might consider an ‘unimportant species’ go extinct, could that, in reality, disrupt the whole eco-system chain and, ultimatley, throw everything off? Good question. In Jefferson, Ohio I interviewed two high school Juniors involved with a course on “Service Learning.” The course has them volunteering in the community with things like: A Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome children, painting the high school stadium, walking dogs at the Humane Society… I told the Ashtabula Star Beacon <\/em>newspaper that we’d like to see one-third of the American curriculum (K-12) being volunteer work out in the community because: “I want my children learning as much about helping others as they do about math, science, English…” In Ashtabula, I also met with Rita Sarell who has a rather prolific (large posters, and so on) Pro-Life display in the window of her computer firm downtown. A picture in the News Standard <\/em>newspaper the next day showed myself talking to Mrs. Sarell — with the display in the background. When I asked Mrs. Sarell if she was worried about the display hurting business at her store, she said. “Oh, it’s not my store. It’s God’s.” After talking to Mrs. Sarell, I had also told the Ashtabula newspaper that I recently heard in Nazi Germany, while adults and children went by screaming and wailing in box cars toward the Concentration Camps — many of the churches turned up the organ music to: drown out the sounds. And, I continued, isn’t that what we’re doing now in American society? That is, metaphorically, we’re turning up the music (pre-occupation with entertainment, sports, obssesive work patterns, and so on…) — while these little unborn babies (4,400 a day in America) go down the tracks to their deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
