• What are we doing?

  Why does it seem that even some of the most important topics to our daily living, and saving our lives must now be left to advertising? I am very thankful for what Roberts is doing. But why aren't we taking care of this ourselves? Why aren't we taking this personally? We need to break past our fears and discomforts and start talking to each other about sex. Especially our children. Here in the USA the conservatives have raped our school systems of sex education and it is clear that the families have not taken on the responsibility of fully educating their children. In addition our conservative government requires countries to whom we give money for hiv/aids to only teach absence only. We, here in the USA are living proof that abstinence only "education" does not work. Please, can we start talking honestly to each other?

• We are what we eat

  And a lot of us eat death. I think the correlation between rising breast cancer rates and countries with rising levels of meat consumption is telling. The same goes for the lower risk of cancer in vegetarians. Admittedly, correlations aren't always causalities, but it merits attention.

• Relief

  I'm glad to hear that the monkeys being used in the Southwick's Zoo Monkey College program were bred at the zoo and not taken from the wild. However, I still have slight discomfort with the fact that exotic animals are being used for human service. This goes for dolphins in animal-assisted therapy for depression sufferers. I'm glad there's a way to help these people in need, but I'm just not sure this is the BEST way to help them. Hopefully, someone will discover a better way in the future.

• beautiful story

  I just got my first issue of Good Magazine, and this article convinced me that the name really is well-deserved. Not only is Children of the Night doing something good for the world, as all others who have commented have said, but GOOD is doing good just by covering this kind of story. How many times do you look in a magazine and find an article this meaningful, this powerful, and this beautiful? So, a big "It's Good" to Children of the Night and GOOD!

• Free Burma Rangers, etc

  Other groups that provide humanitarian relief and health care to otherwise inaccessible populations are the Free Burma Rangers and the Backpack Healthworker Team, who use donkeys (not as sexy as motorcycles), backpacks, and baskets to carry their supplies to the over half a million IDPs inside Eastern Burma. US Campaign for Burma

• Very Moving

  Stories about Homeless Football and Disabled Volleyball are very moving. Would appreciate more in depth articles about such organizations. Many of us who read GOOD are looking for organizations to support. If GOOD hopes to do more good in this word it needs to cover stories like this one, but in greater depth. This was excellent.

• COTN

  What a great service for youth who have stumbled somehow some way whether through inadequate education, love, own choice or information. Sure youth make their own choices too! It is fabulous to know such a safe place exists for them - may you who operate COTN have lots of support and success. To the girls "You made a good choice obviously by staying at COTN May you be blessed with stability, laughter, safety and all the nice things life does have out there, Keep on trying"!!!

• Truly Inspiring.

  My family lived through the tragedies of the Vietnam war. Fortunately, they were able to make their way to America. I always found it sad that so much culture was taken away from Cambodia after the war. The country that my parents remember will never be again. So, to read about these wounded Cambodians making the best out of the worst is inspiring and gives me hope for the future of Cambodia. Thank you, Good for writing this article.
