I remember my grandfather telling me that aboriginal peoples never wasted anything. When they killed an animal, every part of the animal was used for something. Skins for warmth. Meat for food. Fat for fuel. Bones for tools and weapons. Organs for medicine. Nothing...

on the heels of my lap letter
So on the heels of my lap letter that I sent out Sunday, when someone asks me, "Do you believe in God?" I can't answer that question. It is the wrong question. For me, the statements "I believe in God" and "I don't believe in God" are both sides to the same...
