This is a reaction to sound bytes, media manipulation, and to us humans who are succumbing to US, Today, People Magazine quick fast down and dirty “facts” that are making us believers, when we aren’t reading the whole original document and talking directly to the person, place or thing that concerns us.

I’m relating to the controversy over PeaceHealth, which because I trust my gut, and people like Pamela Gross, Charlie Anderson, Lenore Bayuk, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Tuttle and others who would not compromise us as humans with genuine needs concerning reproductive right, etc.

All the hubabaloo could be avoided if we spoke to our friends and neighbors, carefully read the lengthy articles and acted instead of reacted. I repeat “trust your gut”…deal with your heart. Know the players on your team, please.
