Martha Talks Back: Reader Questions Answered
by Martha Brockenbrough
Dear Martha,

It's the holiday season and people keep trying to kiss me under a mistletoe. Why? Where did this tradition come from anyway?

Thanks for your help!

Bill

Dear Bill,

While mistletoe sounds more like a foot condition than anything that would inspire romance, you should probably count your blessings that all you're... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nubianne22) http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3161 Fri, 19 Dec 2003 22:04:49 GMT http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3162/t/Sun-in-frenzy-since-1940.html Wed Oct 29 2003 10:05:09 ET

German scientists who have created a 1,000-year-record of sunspots said Wednesday they discovered the Sun has been in a frenzy since 1940 and this may be a factor in global warming.

The research, based on the quantities of the isotope beryllium 10 found in ice bores from Greenland and the Antarctic, challenges the belief that carbon dioxide from cars and coal fires and other greenhouse gases are the only cause... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3162 Wed, 29 Oct 2003 09:16:12 GMT http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3166/t/Herbal-Treatments-amp-Beauty-Applications.html

I read a report saying that Orangutans, Spotted Leopards, Great Whales, Great Tigers and many other large species are in danger of becoming extinct. I find this to be highly upsetting...species such as these aren't supposed to go extinct THIS early and when we start losing a diverse list of large animals, we have a serious problem on our hands.

Cob is an english term that means, "a lump or rounded mass"

Cob is a material that is a mixture of clay, earth, sand, straw and water. It is handworked into earthen walls & shapes to build "cob houses" and "cob cottages". You can get extra decorative with design techniques by using stone, bamboo, kenaf, and minimal amounts of wood with cob or adobe to create roofing,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Mindkandy) http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3167 Mon, 25 Nov 2002 19:41:15 GMT http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3163/t/Does-anyone-here-use-Shea-Butter-.html ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3163 Thu, 21 Nov 2002 14:35:07 GMT http://mindkandysinterracialdebateandrelations.yuku.com/topic/3154/t/-quot-Do-You-Have-To-Be-White-To-Be-Green-quot-.html

Are there any people here who vote green?

Would you ever be interested in supporting green party candidates? Why or why not?

Particularly for African Americans, I think many Green Party beliefs can provide interesting solutions or ideas to issues that affect us collectively.
