I always believed that the common population of United states,thinks totally opposite to their governmental polices and acts.
ReplyDeleteBut I do hope that the United states does gets a government which acts according to it's peoples will and for it's "real" benefits.
Nice post with most authentic links.
Nice work.
Yes, this is also my experience within the US. The difficulty is that decent caring people are so caught up in their own day to day family and job/career/schooling and even economic survival issues, there is not the openness and time/space to discuss these larger global issues.
ReplyDeleteMore and more, I'm seeing that art/film/more creative approaches will be needed to get across some of these universal issues. Facebook to many has some attributes of breaking down ethnic barriers and yet provides for many only an illusion of a safe, open global city.
Media is often so connected to local economy, perks and fears that few of us see the kinder and braver elements of our nations...
However we can connect across the world to search out "this other side" to show one another, the closer we may be to some real breakthroughs.
Keep on keeping on to help us as we peace and justice folk in the US so need the help of a world network at this very time.
