The Forest People [View all]




I tend to think sometimes we in the US – not all obviously, and most not all the time – get sidetracked by the 365 day a year horse race and never ending campaign season. People lose sight of what’s important. Loosing freedoms, as we have been steadily for over a decade is extremely important. But even that is a second tier problem compared to the subject of the video, and can be fixed. It’s takes a lot of hard work, but it is reversible. However, when a species or culture is wiped out, it’s wiped out for good. Greed, overpopulation, pollution and corruption – these things are universal and need solutions.

Just my two cents.
