PANDACHYDERMS Elephants painted in black and white were paraded at the Ayutthaya elephant camp, north of Bangkok, Friday to commemorate the birth of a panda cub at the Chiang Mai Zoo. The May 27 birth occurred after years of artificial insemination and efforts to get its celibate parents to mate, triggering a national craze for the animals. (Photo via the Wall St. Journal)

to every man, woman & child
we want an end to the glamorization of negativity in the media
we want an end to status symbols dictating our worth as individuals
we want a meaningful and universal education system
we want substance in the place of popularity
we will not compromise who we are to be accepted by the crowd
we want the invisible walls that separate by wealth, race & class to be torn down
we want to think out own thoughts
we will be responsible for our environment
we want clarity & truth from our elected officials or they should move aside
we want love not lies
we want an end to all wars foreign & domestic
we want an end to the processed culture of exploitation, over-consumption & waste
we want knowledge, understanding & peace
we will not lose because we are not losers, we are lasers

Love Always Shines Every time Remember 2 Smile — LF

In a week unusually rife with celebrity death, it’s a little spooky to note that the king of pop, Michael Jackson, and the king of pitchmen, Billy Mays, were born within about six weeks of each other in 1958.
Mr. Mays, who was found dead this morning by his wife in their Tampa, Fla., home, was one of the loudest and, perhaps as a consequence, one of the most familiar voices on American television, as Rob Walker noted recently in The New York Times Magazine.
