When we fail ourselves...

The earth used to be a great place to live. Things are changing and we really need to take a step back and look at ourselves and what we do and by what we do, I mean how we systematically destroy the very place where we live. I just read a piece in the NY Times on how Australia's rice crop has dropped by 98 percent this year. It is hard to imagine the impact of this unspeakable tragedy when we live in the good ol' US of A. When we live here, we have it all. By all I mean food, housing, and democracy. Oops, maybe we don't and this is why we need to look at what we do and how we fail ourselves when we let tragedies of this magnitude occur. It is ok for people to starve to death, because people need wine to drink and capitalism and corporations succeed in changing the very perspectives of people. When I state that we fail ourselves, I mean all of humanity, future generations, and all that is on this Earth.

peace,
