Thanks for Sharing
Dear Ms. Barker (“Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’?”, June, p. 27)
I read your article today, with some considerable interest. You see, it’s been something like... six months? longer? since our sex life tapered off. Circumstances for us are rather different, however. You see, we just had a baby. I am truly hoping that sheer horniness will return when the little guy starts sleeping longer at night. After all, he will be wanting a little sister one of these days. Inspired by your story, I am sending SharedVision a haiku that falls in with your theme. It’s called “Haiku for Solitary Pleasures”:
Extreme horniness
Deeply peaceful vibration
Mug falls off table
I shall think of your wonderful story every time I re-read it.

The Right Light?
I recently heard that CFLs are a huge source of electromagnetic radiation and are a potential health hazard in this regard. There was no mention of this in the article on CFLs in your May issue (“Blinded by the Light?”). I would think this is important and warrants some investigation.

Ground Control to Spaceship Earth…
What would, in my opinion, add to B.C.’s green efforts (Organic Dirt, May) would be wind turbines lined up along our coastline, creating electricity from the wind’s own energy. Our government should, besides complying with the Kyoto Protocol, actually reflect the necessities and requirements of our environment—e.g. the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the electricity we consume—and not big industry’s interests. How much more will it take for us to seriously acknowledge, and take action on that acknowledgement: that spaceship Earth’s life-sustaining environment will tolerate only so much more human-based abuse? Really, all governments should consider the following pertinent question: what good is creating or preserving jobs (e.g. when developing lands, pristine or not) when people are sick, dying, or already dead because of environmental degradation?

No Problem at All
Thank you so much for the article you put out on me in your May issue (“A Fashion Grad’s Final Project,”). It was probably one of the most exciting moments of my life since my mother and father both read your magazine and they were both so proud. The article was short and sweet and embodied my line and personality. Again, thank you for this opportunity.
