Media I feel feeds on this as well. Remember when disaster movies like Deep Impact and Volcano were making a comeback? The news also liked reporting on the latest asteroid that was a million miles away from us. Fear and death. I am not sure us little people are motivated enough to DO anything about the word that gets put out. I mean, hell, we all like to think we do our part, right? But meanwhile, the off shore drilling continues and that lack of support (or industrial profit) for say, giant windmill power (maybe put em on top of the coal stripped mountains of WV?) not only because "they look hideous", but you can't make money off the wind. I think people can be coerced into anything given the proper self-gratifying motivation, but it takes the Upper Level to make sure we go in the direction that we should, and need to go in. For me, I just don't see that happening quite yet on a massive scale.Fringe Element Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029204660425214443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18993132.post-62386565215370287302010-01-24T10:44:48.325-05:002010-01-24T10:44:48.325-05:00Well said, well written, you :) I was also left w...Well said, well written, you :) I was also left with the question of whether the "messages" might be lost in the spectacle...or might the spectacle put the word out there???<br /><br />D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18993132.post-50088105899711649072010-01-24T08:20:34.167-05:002010-01-24T08:20:34.167-05:00Thanks for the comment! :-)Thanks for the comment! :-)Fringe Element Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029204660425214443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18993132.post-69498175196068343502010-01-23T22:52:01.268-05:002010-01-23T22:52:01.268-05:00Got to admit, I was dazzled by it, and enjoyed it ...Got to admit, I was dazzled by it, and enjoyed it more than any movie since...well, since I can remember.
