2. Earth should be run as a PSA on TV

it would do wonders for awareness (of the rest of the planet).

3. Breathtaking! Really!

One small misspelling:

Amazment is amazement. I'm not criticizing but the artist may want to know.

8. I liked "Earth" but I disagree with lifecynical talking about war:

"we can't live without it." This is one of those memes that has been perpetuated throughout at least recent history. My experience, however, is that most people would simply like to be left alone and would leave others alone if they themselves were left alone. But there are a group or class of people who don't want this and, whether consciously or not, actively work against it. You can always tell who they are because they point up OUR differences rather than what we share and hold in common. It's exactly as Goering said in Gustave Gilbert's Nuremberg Diary:

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
