Algore and a handful of artists are preparing Live Earth Concerts on 7/7/07 to raise awareness... awareness means nothing...switching off all the neon lights, greening all the macadam and the concrete, getting rid of all the skyscrapers, getting rid of all the cars would mean something... once the earth was green all over, and people were able to survive until they arrived, the people from the west with their house made of bricks, their roads made of macadam, and then their cars ran with petrol and their metals, their plastics, their chemicals sucked from the bosom of the planet and poored all over the lives of those who once lived in harmony. What is there to be done that will stop the scandalous and catastrophic outpour of modern western civilisation ...hard to say.. after all I am happily tapping on the clavier of my state-of-the-art computer.... hard to say... of one bad we have made so much worse Continue the good earthbuilding earth loving work! www.i-bric.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21324888.post-10390205905097578642007-01-13T09:35:00.000-08:002007-01-13T09:35:00.000-08:00I am US Leah's Aunt Carol and am thoroughly enjoyi...I am US Leah's Aunt Carol and am thoroughly enjoying your accounts of the Pun Pun experience.

Reading...Very eloquent and arresting article Josh! Reading it brought to mind a very sad documentary I saw a number of years ago made by an Australian guy whose marriage had collapsed precipitating his travel to Thailand to work out his idea of love and sex etc etc. He engages the services of a young peasant woman forced into prostitution with the intention of documenting her life. You can read a review about it <br />http://www.routledge-ny.com/ref/documentary/bangkok.html<br />It is worth seeing if you get the chance.<br />J.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599685047741196106noreply@blogger.com
