How would change it if you had the ability to fix or manipulate everything you thought was wrong or not right in the world today, to at lease send it in the right direction, gotta give it a shove to send it back flowing in the right direction
Biggest dreamer ideas, to the Smallest and easy to do ideas, are allowed, and encouraged, cant hurt to throw out the ridiculous,cant be more ridiculous than the direction many things are headed right now...
:Fights over food, and water, and necessities to life, like cropland or the farthest upriver plot for clean water....
what other things have wars been fought over, and will they be fought over that should be studied and addressed and understood to know how to act in the future....
:Intolerance of other religions or lack or religions is a big thing everywhere, idealogical fights need to have a way of breaking the bearier and find a way to show the other side that we are each brother and sister and all going throught the same things in life, losing friends, gaining enemies....
They always say that History repeats itself, i dont know who They is, but they need to learn how to break the destructive cycle before its breaks them...
( our little boat called civilization is stuck on the rocks, be the stick )
or as a translation of a buddahs last words once said " be ye lamps unto yourselves"
anyone think our (especially american ) culture just allows itself to continue to get worse and worse with its habits, and just keeps using excuses like "well my dad poured DDT in rivers at least my Hummers not doing that"...
How Would you be the change that you wish to see in the World....

Fri, April 18, 2008 - 7:58 AMya know my greatest idea for starting that loving change, is a human wildlife preserve... sounds crazy but what else are ecovillages and like communities...based on getting closer to earth, as an animal we are not in any state near extiction but out of our billions we are dead inside as a whole, rotting and stinking up the fuggin planet.... what i would propose is a huge 500 settlement acre settlement that studies itself and its relationship with interacting species and all of its food would be taken off the land and new social customs could be studied and adapted for healthier life outside of the preserved lands.... it would be a place where the animals hunted on the land are revered and respected as is the land and plants and themselves in turn....it would create a beautiful waterfall effect of love and care and understanding and compassion and knowledge about the environment and its co inhabitants....
But thats just me.....
I'de love to hear how others would be the change.....
remember in this post theres no spending cap, so dream big.....Json

Tue, May 6, 2008 - 7:30 AMJson, how very buddha of you to ask this question! Yaay!
Anyways, of course the change starts with you, I think we all get that. An example of me changing it: I purchased some country land where my husband and I will be building an "earthship." If you have not heard about them, check it out. We will be basically living "off the grid." I will be growing almost all of the food we eat. I have stopped eating meat, except of a bit of fish here and there, and as many of us have heard the production of livestock pollutes everything around us. I am in the process of purchasing a bicycle so I can commute to work and completely discard my vehicle. There are so many things I want to do, but these are a few that I am trying to start currently. I try to live everyday trying to expand the views of the people around me. I look very young for my age and have dreads, piercings, and tattoos so people in the Midwest like to judge me as some punk kid. So, I kill them with my manners and total acceptance. Even if I only change one mind, it is one that may create a domino effect.
As for my crazy idea, I wish that we could revert back to tribal life. Living as small communities that depend on eachother to survive. Then I think we would start appreciating life much more.
