Now to reply to your observation. Indeed and so it should be for all of us because if we don't do that, we indeed will be the victims too. Z |

Indeed. There's no point sitting around to "die" with the victims. We'd suffer the victim mentality. If we are being proactive, that victim mentality will not apply. -feeler |

Re: complicit or ignorant?
Great post Zeddo I have been thinking about this very issue that we are all facing . We all know that injustice pervades the earth and we see it and point it out every day. How ever many, including myself are guilty of not acting on these incidents by writing politicians or voicing publicly our displeasure with the way things are going we all need to get off our butts and start treating people in other parts of the world like they really are and that is an extension of us . It is no longer safe to sit back and say geez poor guys, well at least its not happening here. Wrong its working its way to you and me and everyone else . One Place where we did do this was during the Gaza siege where many people in different countries banded together and became that voice for those people and all race assisted in it even jews were against the Israeli government we put pressure on the media and governments to act and finally our voice was heard and it assisted in the ending of the shelling. We need to do more of this it doesn`t have to global it could be local the more people participate the more others will realize they to can make a difference

It was brilliant the groundswell over Gaza, and that was really wide spread, we need to carry that impetus over to all other wars too. I am optomistic I must say. I know I don't come over optomistic in the majority of my posts, but hey, people like me are needed to keep things just a little uncomfortable !!! C'Ya Zedd |
