It's interesting to me that not one person, except me, bothered to post a comment on some gorgeous photos of our wondrous, natural world. But, thousands will post when it involves something like hate-mongering on the part of some two-bit politicians. I wish everyone would be more astonished by our beautiful planet. When a priority-shift such as that occurs, we will all be much healthier.

    Sarita and I are of the same oppinion. twenty four hours a day of terrible sites; conflicts of all sorts, war, social problems take up so much time in our lives. I sometimes wish television had never been invented. However, if you only saw the good, you would not have the ability to intervene on the bad or evil.
