It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

A Horrible Un-necessary Death = Sadness

On April 5, 2011, Knut would have been 4 years and 4 months, instead he will never reach his Polar Bear life expectancy of 30.  At the Berlin Zoo on Saturday, 600 onlookers watched in agony, as poor Knut fell into the water and DIED!

No one seems to have an explanation as to why he passed as such an early age, “He was by himself in his compound,” says bear keeper Heiner Kls. “He was in the water, and then he was dead.” 

This is sad news indeed.

I was out gardening all day Saturday and Sunday, that I didn't have the chance to catch up on my blogging, and missed the opportunity to talk about this horrible news!  I knew of Knut, because of the outrageous news, which broke back in 2006; Without reason, his mother had rejected him and his twin (who died 4 days later).  He became an instant world sensation, with posters, t-shirts, mugs, and games bearing his likeness. Even Leonardo DiCaprio posed with him, in Vanity Fair's 2nd annual "Green Issue."


People who never took a look at the Polar bear as an endangered species, are now having second thoughts, because of Knut.  He was truly loved, but poor little guy, he will surely be missed.

Poor polar bear! :(....

It does make you wonder, though, if the mom knew all along that something was wrong with her babies and that they weren't going to make it.
