How did we change in 20 years
If anyone still remembers this young girls speech at a UN summit in 1992, it was pretty moving and branded as "the girl that silenced the world for 6 minutes".
<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xPx5r35Aymc?fs=1& ;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScree n" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptacc ess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xPx5r35Aymc?fs=1& ;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="a lways" allowfullscreen="tru e" width="640" height="390"></embed></object> How about almost 20 years later when values that seamed to matter so much appear to lose importance in our everyday lives? Do we need mother nature to keep striking us with ever more powerful signs and more frequent catastrophic events for humanity to wake up? I sadly think so.

I find that keeping myself from being cynical often means not thinking about humanity.
So I take my leave.

None of this matters. Things are plenty fuckered no matter what we do at this point. But it's all part of the fun and games of it all. Now let's have some fun and get crazy

Personally; I'm up for the challenge of trying to find ways to support the natural resilience of this planet. If you look at things in isolation it may seem there is little that can be done. Action takes courage, inaction usually stems from fear.

All I know is, in the last twenty years, my income has steadily decreased.
