The more I hear about what is going on here and there, the more I think
about what Dr. Jack Shephard (fictional character on LOST) told the Losties early on, "We either live together or die alone"....or words to that effect. People of Earth, we really need to try to live together or we are going to die alone. The crises of our times are also opportunities. Will humans begin to pull together and survive? Will billions die violent death before we come to our senses? What are your thoughts?

1. There are more of us then them. Those who destroy the planet and the people must go. Prison or
sent off to a place where they cannot hurt, pillage and destroy anymore.
That is what I think, be it possible or not. I think it is possible.

2. I've got my hand up for the pull tog. and survive group.
I think the best we're going to be able to do is pull together and survive in small groups in the best ways humanly possible. As a global ideal...not so much...don't think it can happen.

3. That probably came from
the Andes plane crash in the 70s. The survivors realized immediately that they had to work together or they would not survive. They did work together too - for months on the side of a mountain.

Anyway - that is the prescription for survival for all of us.

In Katrina, the wealthy whites were guarding their property with guns. They even guarded access to their neighborhoods.

In Japan, I do not believe they would even consider doing something like that.

4. True revolution comes from those who see themselves as already dead.
