I am partial to plants that I can use. The herb garden affords a big palette to play with.

You find that you get addicted to the plants.

We have enough dirty coal plants, and we do need to look for alternatives. No matter how you stack it up, power plants are still the major provider of particles in the air, which cause many health problems.

I suggest that gardeners plant both types of plants. Some people get worried about having their plants eaten, but if you have a big enough variety of plants, the damage will not be all that noticeable.

We're totally opposed to inserting sexual orientation into textbooks in our schools.

I don't care if, or who, whatever historical figure they want to say is gay. If we're discussing history, who someone had sex with is inappropriate. I don't think most Californians want history and social sciences taught through the lens of who in history slept with whom.
