A group of rich Germans has launched a petition calling for the government to make wealthy people pay higher taxes.

The group say they have more money than they need, and the extra revenue could fund economic and social programmes to aid Germany's economic recovery......

mitt i naturen

One of the highlights in [the contends of] my life recently was the In the Middle of Nature conference I attended with two wonderful colleagues. A conference for teachers, social workers, nature guides, health care providers, among others on outdoor activities. The idea was to spend most of the time outside. And so we did. We had one lecture inside and then left by bus to the banks of Lake Bodom [indeed from the Children of ... and the Lake Bodom Murders]. Did workshops about team-building, [animal] tracking and survival techniques. Learned how important it is to be outside a lot, and then returned to our indoor workplace.

Times are changing. Yes, it's a mad world, but things are changing for the better. In the past I suffered tremendously from cigarette smoke. It was wherever I went. It seemed a long process, but it's actually a revolution, in a few years time smoking has been banned in most public places. I almost don't have to bother about it anymore. I could not have dreamed that 10 years ago. And that to me is a confirmation that humans can change if we only want to. ...or better, if we only reach a higher level of awareness. And that we do. Climate chance, another example, is [seemingly] all of a sudden a huge issue.

Well, I read this article in the National Geographic and the author quoted a logger who was commenting on environmentalists. I thought that was so beautiful. Who could have guessed a logger saying that for 50-40-30-20-10 years ago?!

"The might think I'm a gun-toting, right-wing redneck, but what they have to understand is, they've got our attention."

heal the world

All the time since Michael passed away I felt like posting the words of Heal the World. They are so beautiful. And they mean so much more to me than I realized. Michael means so much more to our generation than we realize. I mean this big pop *star* singing It doesn't matter if you're black or white.... We all heard that! Sure that influenced us.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children

There Is More Than Enough

There is more than enough of everything for everyone to live quite happily. It is simply a matter of changing your "every man for himself" economy to a "highest good for all" economy.
