The other night she called me on the phone and we talked for an hour about her major and what we are doing to the planet. She said the more she learns the more of a "hippie" she is becoming...
I love that she is passionate about what she is studying and some of the stuff she was telling me I had never even heard of... I am learning about some issues like mountain topping.... She also posted the following link on face book about some of our food supplies.

Good for your daughter. We need more "hippies" who are speaking out with authority about issues like mountain top mining. I lived in Kentucky and it's a sin what they're doing there.
