Re: our war on nature,when will it stop... (O.T.)



    Thanks for posting these links   Louie, maybe if any good comes  
out of this, it will be to wake up the world to move away from nuclear  
energy and on to cleaner more sustainable  forms of energy. When the  
quake and Tsunami hit Japan last month, my wife  Nancy and I were on  
our way to North Carolina and for the first few days we were in  
Asheville, all we could do was watch the tragedy unfold on TV. I  
started to e-mail friends in Japan not knowing at that point if any  
were in harms way or note, luckily they weren't. But as the gravity of  
the event started to take shape, perhaps the worst  natural  
catastrophe meets human error that I will ever see in my lifetime, I  
started to try and organize a benefit back home in Santa Cruz to help  
the Japanese people, of which, most of the victims  are average hard  
working citizens that had nothing to do with the big government and  
power broker stupidity that is causing the worst nuclear event since  
Chernobyl, compounding   one of the biggest and most devastating  
quakes in recorded history. A month later we are still struggling to  
organize an event that is more than a token gesture of support and  
solidarity for the Japanese people, and I'm dismayed to se that not  
much has been done in the way of big media sponsored events like the  
Haitian relief benefits. Where are our self congratulating celebrities  
waving their hands and singing "we are the World"???  I think that as  
much as radiation poisoning stokes our fears we can't loose sight of  
the fact that regardless of where you stand on the issue, our Japanese  
brothers and sisters need our help desperately and will so for the  
foreseeable future, and I urge everyone on this list to do what they  
can to help.
