I believe that many don't give a damn about Ferguson, Missouri. I'ts just one more passing story in the news and it doesn't affect the world as it exists in this moment.

Well, pehaps that's unfair. Maybe people have different priorities. Most humans don't grasp the concept that the entire world is interconnected through the fact of being a single fabric/entity/consciousness. People don't conceive of the possibiltiy that we are interconnected through our common humanity.

Wow. Guess that sounded like some sci-fi crap. Well, let me put it another way. We human beings are all trapped on the same planet. Like it or not, we will either find a way to live together, move on, or destroy each other.
