Pleading
for sanity....
In response for a call to all people on earth, by AVAAZ I wrote a personal message to John Kerry the United States Secretary for State. You can also get involved if helping to stop the greed for energy taking us into a global meltdown, and/or climate change is important to you. Read below, and add your thoughts.
Dear Secretary of State,
If
you are reading this message, then at least you have indicated one
very valuable and immutable evidence of being a caring human being.
This is where we all have to begin, to bond and realise that whatever
we do personally can be far reaching and important to others too.
I
feel sure that you will understand why so many people are against
this and many other types of energy harvesting. It is not because we
desire to live in the dark ages and go without power for lighting and
heating, and hence have a more enjoyable time here on earth. But I
feel sure that you must realise our resistance of this harvesting is
all about the sustainability of life on our planet. Fundamentally we
really need to be thinking of using less energy, rather than wasting
more and more on creating dead things. The planet is alive, and we
(human beings with a thirst for oil and power) are turning that
living planet into a dead one. It is a kind of Necrophilia to do
this. There are many clean ways to harvest energy that are already
discovered, and the research is pretty conclusive that it can be
beneficial to everyone. Abusing natural resources without truly
considering the affects upon the planet is quite naive and at best
unhelpful to the people living here, including you. The earth has
been around for a very long time and human beings a fraction of that.
I am sure that you as a man who breathes air and eats natures produce
must comprehend the gravity of the global issues with regards the
actions of mankind upon it. Al Gore has one of the best and most
informed views of the longevity of this activity and has said so with
the dedication of a warrior in the film, 'An Inconvenient Truth'.
Please Mr. Kerry, be kind to the earth and your brothers and sisters.
Help it be rejuvenated and cared for, and leave a future open for our
grandchildren and people to come. Our lives are valuable and yet
should not come at a cost to the planets hope of survival. In truth
it will be here long after we have become extinct. Please don't force
that extinction upon us all at this time.
Are you listening to the people?
Are you wondering what to do?
Are you going to fight for us?
(Or the greedy rich)
Are you going to stop this madness?
One
parting thought:
THE
EARTH DOES NOT BELONG TO US....
WE
BELONG TO THE EARTH........
With
respect, Love and Light.
