Happy Birthday, Thomas Jefferson

By Genevieve LaGreca, 4/13/2007 – Jefferson fought for a country in which the government had no power to encroach on the mind, the life, the liberty, or the property of the individual.

By Michael Shaw, 4/20/2004 –

Achieving Abundance Ecology requires a direct relationship between man and the land, Abundance Ecologist Michael Shaw said in a presentation to the Trans-Heritage Association annual meeting and conference in Alpine Texas in May 2003.
