http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQmz6Rbpnu0 Sad thing is that she was speaking 16 years ago (1992) and though near three quarters of a generation have past her message is still as poignant today as it was then. It was a brilliant speech. . |

Why do I bet that for all her empty rhetoric, she still goes out into the sun, still breathes, and the world is still here for her children? Cordially, Rush elrushbo2@theobviousgmail.com Remove the obvious... |

Breath deep and wonder what your body is taking in, Go swimming in the ocean or drink some tap water every day and see what happens. Google Earth the Rain Forests and coral reefs. Drive around your sprawl in your petro vehicles. Laugh it up while you still can. .

Stand around speaking empty political rhetoric to UN members and convince the skeptics there that you are nothing more than a petulant child and you have done more harm to your cause than you could imagine. You can still pat yourself on the back though. In fact, pat yourself on the back for doing nothing while you still can. Cordially, Rush elrushbo2@theobviousgmail.com Remove the obvious... |

Have some fish every day and try to have a child, Google a pic of a glacier and download it for your kids. Visit a national forest before it dies. Throw another war tho your religion says killing is a commandment not to be broken. Make a joke and submit it to an online joke site. .

This is a world forum, not an email, See: WWW Amazing how people can scoff at a child instead of praising Her and reflecting on the issues. . "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

This is a world forum, not an email, It's equally amazing how many people think children cannot be manipulated by adults into saying anything. |
