The following video presents myriad facts about the oceans covering more than 70 percent of our planet.
Without the ocean life on earth would be an impossibility. The ocean makes life on the planet possible.

The  oceans are in desperate need of our human help. Most people are unaware of the myriad benefits the ocean provides us, nor how much we are connected and dependent on it.  80 percent of all the life on earth is  found in the oceans. (more…)

Joe and Maria Cardinale have decided they’re mad as hell, and they are not taking it anymore!

“I’ve been paying for a top-of-the-line [insurance policy] for all these years. They knew I had a waterfront home. They took my money and now that I need their help, I’m not covered for anything.” ~ Joe Cardinale homeowner, on unsatisfactory insurance coverage for his family’s home by Allstate’s Deluxe Plus Homeowners Policy in an interview with the Staten Island Live web site.

We’ve been told by unnamed sources close to beleaguered New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly he will be issuing a news release announcing a new, improved policy to be implemented immediately, rendering the previous video unexceptional:

All homeless persons found by members of the world’s largest urban police force will be provided, and forced to accept, appropriate covering,(including sleeping bags rated to minus 25 below freezing).
