EQUINE RESCUE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
So what is the point of this place? Well, first and foremost, it is an extension of an Equine Rescue Information and Resources website that I built a couple of years ago. I am a horse lover and I can not tolerate the idea of horses being slaughtered/& or transported for the purpose of slaughter in the United States, to be cruelly butchered into meat that will be eaten in Belgium or France. We Americans DO NOT EAT HORSES! Horses are beautiful, intelligent, and loving creatures that only want to please us, and it is totally unacceptable for them to be tortured and slaughtered inhumanely just because someone got tired of them.
I love all animals and will do whatever I can to advocate for their humane treatment and their God-given right to live out the lives that He has given them, in peace and freedom from abuse and neglect, until my dying breath. I believe that God appointed us to be his trusted caretakers of all life and of the earth's natural resources.
How do you really feel about these pictures?
WAR, GENOCIDE, DESTRUCTION, PLANETARY DISTRESS - STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
A couple of months ago I started looking things up on YouTube, watching videos about all the things that are going on in this world. It was shocking to see all the suffering, genocide, war, torture, destruction, oppression, hatred, disregard for all life, planetary distress, and abusive governmental policies that are happening in almost every country on this earth. It is so much more shocking when you can actually see these things on film, and happening to real people.
I have spent many a sleepless night, and cried many tears, over what people are doing to other people. So I resolved to do whatever I can, whenever and wherever I can, even if it is only to gravitate towards other people who feel the same way I do about these issues. I think people everywhere are doing the same; moving closer to each other - there is strength and comfort in numbers in times of great crisis or need. Which is what the situation is now.
A person should stand for something. Either for good, or for bad. There is no in-between, no gray area. And now is the time for all good people to stand up for what is right.
BIG MONEY INTERESTS, GREED, POWER STRUGGLES, DISREGARD FOR CIVIL & HUMAN RIGHTS, LACK OF COMPASSION
Some of the issues I am most concerned about are the genocides occurring in places like Darfur, Tibet, China, Iraq, and Lebanon. I find the policies of the current Administration very disturbing. I think it is horrible that the welfare of human beings and the ecosystem of our home, the earth, are taking a back seat to big money interests, greed, & power struggles. I am worried about the loss of our civil and human rights. I am disgusted with how human beings treat other human beings, and by the lack of respect, tolerance, or compassion in people anymore. I know most people in my country are better than that. And I think you know it, too.
MY BLOG ON CURRENT WORLD ISSUES - STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
So I invite you to my blog - where I will be writing about issues and current events of paramount importance to us all. I hope you will participate, to at least inform yourselves, or to share your ideas, knowledge, and feelings. The purpose is for intelligent, objective, and well-informed people with compassion and rationality in their hearts, to come together and learn and barnstorm. NOT to denigrate, nor to attack others. If that is your intent, leave and don't come back. It is of no consequence here which political party you are affiliated with, nor what religion you are, nor what color your skin is, nor any other factor that may tend to separate one human from another. We have all had enough of being separated over the last 7 years. The REAL American Way is to allow others their beliefs and freedom of expression with a spirit of acceptance and tolerance. I consider myself a Democrat, but if the Republican Party should suddenly demonstrate views closer to my own I would be a Republican. Although I don't think there's much danger of that! The reason the world is in the mess it is in is because people are so intolerant of each others' differences.
WHO IS MAGICSTARER? SOMEONE JUST LIKE YOU!
I am a simple person, with simple needs and tastes. A real person. I love God and life. I love all the beautiful things that God has made for us, all of God's wondrous creation, and all of the highest principles and aspirations that He has given us. I believe that there is a right and wrong. I believe that God wants us to be happy and to love one another. I am an RN and I have taken care of people all of my life, since I was 3 years old. I was born a caretaker - there's no reason to stop now. I couldn't if I tried. I have studied philosophy and all religions, and searched all my life for the truth and for the meaning of everything that happens in this world. I believe that I will live to see the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in my lifetime, and I believe that his arrival in the sky with all the angels is IMMINENT!
Let's talk about what's going on in the world and what our stance should be, and about everything that's good and positive in life, too.
Knowing that all the cruelty that has been done, and all the evil that has been committed, will be undone, and all the lives lost in brutal deaths will be restored when Jesus comes back. All who suffer and die in horrible agony now, will sing in gladness on that glorious day!
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
The first thing I would do if I were President is completely outlaw horse slaughter and the transportation of horses for the purpose of slaughter. Then I would prosecute Bush/Cheney, restore ALL our civil rights, and make sure HR 676 Universal Single-Payer Healthcare for all was passed so everyone would have access to medical, dental, and vision care. Then I would make sure no one was homeless, nor starving. I would work tirelessly to supply low-income housing, shelters, and jobs! ALL EDUCATION would be FREE! I would create programs to provide food, shelter, and education for ALL CHILDREN IN NEED. I would make all sex offenders stay in jail for at least 10 years & be forced to attend therapy for the rest of their lives. I would work without ceasing to restore diplomacy & friendly relations with the rest of the world, & work together with the rest of the world to end poverty and global warming. I would make animal testing & cruelty a severely punished crime. I would allocate funds to provide safe, no-kill shelters for animals, & I would mandate FREE spaying & neutering everywhere for animals whose owners so desired. I would massively support small business and organic & cruelty-free private farming. I would immediately instate pollution-free methods of energy for heating, supply of electricity, and transportation. I would endlessly promote peace, compassion, and brotherhood. I would expunge peoples' criminal records if crime-free for 5 years, except for murder, rape, and violent crimes. I would end all urine & DNA testing. I would STOP people being imprisoned with hardened criminals for drug offenses & offer treatment instead. I would end cloning & the creation of fetuses for stem cell use. Period.
What/who changed my life and why
The Holy Bible, without question.
My grandmother, who loved animals and plants, and who believed in kindness and non-violence.

Hi, I'm contacting Authors. I'm trying to get rid of the 3 year Statute of Limitations, to protect our Right to sue if we get ripped off. Please click my picture, click the link on my page. Either way have a good day, Electra :)
Peace begins with me Starting over and breaking free. Peace begins with me Opening my eyes and beginning to see. Peace begins with me Curious about what I am going to be. Peace begins with me Knowing I no longer have to flee. Peace begins with me Having self dignity. Peace begins with me Taking on more responsibility. Peace begins with me Because peace is being happy. And this is why peace begins with me!
