Considering the environmental and social problems with oil, I'd like to consider ways to reduce and eventually eliminate societal dependence on oil. The following is relevant. Not using bottled water is also one way to support the troops.
Take the pledge to break the bottled water habit.

Inspired by Rick's Understanding Each Other post, I collected all eight episodes of The Prize, a series of videos based on the book, of the same title, by Daniel Yergin.
» This book, and the video series based on it, is very informative to the problems regarding the unethical and immoral practices within capitalism whereby powerful individuals take the desire to dominate to extreme levels. Human beings, human societies and the world have suffered horrible consequences as a result of power politics. Environmental degradation is ongoing. As the world becomes increasingly polluted, it is prime time to ask ourselves what we want to leave for the children of our time, and for all future generations. Take some time to check out The Prize videos [linked]. You might gain some understanding into why PMR activists object to the imperial politics and policies of global domination. Are power politics the way you want the world to operate? My resistance is based in environmental and social conscience.

I found this comment on another thread > " Vigilantes looking for vandals = Unfriendly " < I'm curious where Olybloggers "weigh-in" on this one... ...I certainly don't like being provoked into responding to vandalism, so I'm curious what other Olympians are feeling~ ~any thoughts? |
