As you said, one must focus. I believe that the basics of survival for our species need be addressed first. Air, water, food, safety, medical... FOR ALL OF US!
Info from Conrad73 about a small, inexpensive and relativly easy to ship, water purification tool.
Also a group helping to provide drinkable water to greater numbers of the human species: achildsright.org or similar groups with a ratio of help to administation of over 85/15.
HUGE government GIVEAWAYS from the PEOPLE'S treasury to the already very wealthy only makes things worse. THAT IS NOT CAPITOLISM!
Thank you Rose! For all that you do and for sharing it with the thoughtful folks here.
We are all in this together, our planet is small. The greed that consumes a very few of us is ever hungry for more; there will never be enough resources to satisfy it.
Humanity's basic resources like breathable AIR, drinkable WATER and edible food can be kept usable AND, can be made available to us ALL!
Write to our "electeds," rattle their fine office doors! Make our voices heard!
I'm fresh from a "Human Communications" class. (Earned an A) According to our text, "Understanding Human Communication" 10th ed. Alder & Rodman. "Too much communication is not always beneficial," they are speaking directly to your question. There is extensive material there on using "Equivocations," "White-lies" and such in perfecly ethical and moral ways.
Not the way most people mislead, but there are certainly times when no communication is best for all concerned.
Have to go now to the naked Solstice Parade in Freemont, Seattle. The locals there call it: "the center of the known universe."
Thanks man! I've been really busy with school. If the Mars stuff is too mind-blowing for the forums, maybe on blog? Whenever you get around to it, I look forward to reading your thoughts. I have a good friend who is from Eskitunia(spelling!!)Sweden. She and I spent weeks near Garberville, among the gentle giants.
Great question sweetie! You are fortunate to have such great examples of how fulfilling and long-lived love can be. I think that it is something we can simply choose to do, to love someone.
I think it also helps to know that the "grass is not always greener-[on the other side of the hill]."
The loving couples you describe know the elusive secret to happiness... loving what you have~
Did a front flip in the street with it just 3 weeks ago [don't ask, please]
[Broke my arm, jaw and a rear tooth] Have been a hurtin' unit.
Jeep's front fenders crushed and a rough triangulation of the grill and radiator. Roll cage looks un-bent. Think the engine should be fine, it must have died before the oil left. Don't remember the crash, woke up in the Trauma Center.
But the aftermath of thinking caused me to reorganize my goals, "if not now, when?"
Am starting a new global corp, not-for-profit, "Family Home"-"Casa Familia." To buy repos, fix them and sell them to homeowners that would not normally be able to buy. Very inclusive, each contributor will have a stake in the company.
Almost had my light extinguished on the 30th of Jan. Rolled my flatfender jeep and was ejected and rolled over, damn! Was close, woke up in the trauma center.
Still trying to recover, getting stonger all the time.
Am happy to have lived through it. Really caused me to re-examine my goals. Am starting a new, not-for-profit corperation, named "Family Home" having to do with sustainable human habitation, anywhere. Plan to buy repo homes, fix them and get homeowners into them that would not normally be able to afford it.
Very inclusive, profit sharing for anyone involved, as little as 2 hours per week employment. Will start right here but plan to go global.
I've done a few for myself over the years and have 25 years construction experience, resigned from the Carpenters Union in '04 with my last job as a Project Superintendent.
