Wow! Bernie...talk about buying the world a coke. I hear almost everyday
here in S, Korea about the amount of time these people work, but damned if =
I
can find a clean street or building anywhere! Maybe that time off would
allow them to do a little country cleaning.
Mother nature is tapping us on the shoulder pretty hard right now. I just
hope she doesn't just decide to shake us off like a bunch of fleas while we
argue over poor little ole oil companies and their fragile delicate
sensibilities. After all the commercials they have made about how much they
care, you would think some things would have changed by now.
Okay.. back to my little corner of the far east. I will be quiet now....

Every seed is awakened and so is all animal life. It is through this
mysterious power that we too have our being and we therefore yield to our
animal neighbours the same right as ourselves, to inhabit this land. -
