Re: our war on nature,when will it stop... (O.T.)
Thanks for posting these links Louie, maybe if any good comes
out of this, it will be to wake up the world to move away from nuclear
energy and on to cleaner more sustainable forms of energy. When the
quake and Tsunami hit Japan last month, my wife Nancy and I were on
our way to North Carolina and for the first few days we were in
Asheville, all we could do was watch the tragedy unfold on TV. I
started to e-mail friends in Japan not knowing at that point if any
were in harms way or note, luckily they weren't. But as the gravity of
the event started to take shape, perhaps the worst natural
catastrophe meets human error that I will ever see in my lifetime, I
started to try and organize a benefit back home in Santa Cruz to help
the Japanese people, of which, most of the victims are average hard
working citizens that had nothing to do with the big government and
power broker stupidity that is causing the worst nuclear event since
Chernobyl, compounding one of the biggest and most devastating
quakes in recorded history. A month later we are still struggling to
organize an event that is more than a token gesture of support and
solidarity for the Japanese people, and I'm dismayed to se that not
much has been done in the way of big media sponsored events like the
Haitian relief benefits. Where are our self congratulating celebrities
waving their hands and singing "we are the World"??? I think that as
much as radiation poisoning stokes our fears we can't loose sight of
the fact that regardless of where you stand on the issue, our Japanese
brothers and sisters need our help desperately and will so for the
foreseeable future, and I urge everyone on this list to do what they
can to help.
