"Sinking Ship"

Watch...

And then discuss...

sinking ship (new animated version) - http://www.youtube.com/user/bbbleaver



I agree, if we spend to much time and attention on the "smaller" (and I hate to call them "smaller") issues, where in does the larger issue blur itself. I watched this vid and it reminded me of the whole "ClimateGate" issue - since the notion of global warming is now potentially tainted (I say "potential" because I continue to investigate the ordeal), it would seem that the blanket of "taint" is spreading to a great many other, and much more verifiable, environmental concerns. Anthropogenic environmental degradation and change is occurring, no doubt.

Further, I would state that conflicts in terms of goals, desires, and sovereign entities can sometimes breed prosperity and advance. There is nothing wrong with a conflict of interest, it's how we pursue a solution to the said conflict wherein I sometimes have an issue i.e. a war (negative pursuit) as opposed to faithful negotiation (positive pursuit). Differences are what create a colorful picture, all I plead is the avoidance of the reddest of reds...bloodshed.

Do I cast in entirely with the message this video attempts to transmit..."no." Do I agree the general overtone of - "lets not forget that we all have problems and that these problems are all part of a larger web and that ultimately this web is rooted in how we can sustain ourselves and more importantly the world."

Spread the word!

Start the discussion!

Peace.
