What the average person does not know
No doubt, the world will end eventually but the question is; are we going to give up without a fight. All the big corporations are defining our future for us without the average person knowing that the climate change is going to change every aspect of our lives.
Green solution/technology is the future .the big corporations know all that but the average person does not know. how these changes are going to come? The average person is unaware. We have virtually given the control of our lives to these corporations. What is going to happen to our wallets? The average person does not know. What are the local alternative? But these are not going to reach the average person without a huge profit to the big corporations. Then these big corporations are going to control the politicians as well. The fires in borneo were reported to have been started by big plantation owners. Guess why? Bio diesel is the next big thing in biofuels. The big corporations are competing fast and hard for this.what does it mean for agriculture for the poor farmer? What will happen to land reform? What does the average person know about these things? Will the people be given choices for energy use? The consumer is unaware of his options. Which benefits the big corporations because it allows them to charge more and pay less to the local people. making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Our kids are going to inherit a terrible earth from us if we don’t do any thing. What legacy are we going to leave for our kids? Our ancestors have never given up without a fight for their rights and the next generation’s rights. Will we do the same or will we be complacent? And leave the next generation to its own devices to fend for itself.
IMO we are obliged to do what is right. To leave an earth that is as beautiful as God created it. To leave an earth that can offer gifts to our children for life as it did for us. That goal is still achievable provided we work toward it.

insanity is a legal term. if a person is insane it means that he is a danger to himself and other.
bush fits this defination perfictly. he is a danger to himself and others. every thing he touches is destroyed.
the countries with nuks hopefuly wont have insane leadership. but their not acting on the environmental policies(making wrong policies) borders on insanity. that is clear from the stern report.

 Does anyone still use this???   Seriously.....
