For most of us, there is no debate anymore. The Human Race is abusing and pillaging Mother Earth to no end. We pollute the air and soil, wipe out plant and animal species altogether, and have put our world on a dangerous path.  The result of our hedonistic planetary lifestyle includes rising water levels and polar melting, destabilizing currents and wind flow, and both decreasing and [...]

From Kyle Brady…. The climate change summit in Copenhagen, Denmark has been the talk of the last two weeks, where countries argue over what limited emissions targets will be agreed to and how it will be financed, not to mention on what baseline the changes are calculated.  But this entire argument between nations has underlined [...]

From Sinisa Boljanovic… On March 24, 1999, NATO forces began attack on Serbia and Montenegro. The bombing went for 78 days. A few thousand people were killed, many buildings, bridges, railroads, roads and factories were destroyed.

Maybe the best (or worst) part of it is that when we watch TV,  it does all the work for us.  We don’t need use our minds to create like we do when reading.  When we read, our  imagination has to conjure up images and [...]
