i was on a plane the flight was very short distance so i could look down very cleary mountains, rivers, the ocean, and tiny tiny Japanese houses landscape seemed still so beautiful even though some may be distoryed by human and i imagined in the small world people are having a little life there i wonder how i could drop a bomb from the sky? it's hard to imagine lives are there how people hide their heart when they drop a bomb?
i standed up in Hiroshima. i did not feel that i want to take a photo of the Atomic Bomb Dome like some seem like they are in Disney Land. On a memorial stone, it says we do wish your peaceful rest in heaven, we will never cause this any more. Japan did wrong to other countries. i have never held the feelings of hate for America goverment under WW2. But still i wonder why they had to do it? it was not only in Hiroshima. Nagasaki, too. It is not a fairy tale, or long long time ago story. Still remained. But when i back to my home, i heared Israel's attack. John, i am sorry War is not over. Still in the earth even though so many lives had to die, so many tears so many bloods covered earth. We still have misunderstandings in our mind, hate feelings and anger, sorrow in our hearts, and weapons in our hands. on 6th of August, 1945, 8:45 am Atomic Bomb dropped in Hiroshima.
Sorry that i am not so active on care2 recently very much. i have been quite busy with my work like i leave my home at 9 and am back at nearly 24(12 pm) So i am sorry sometimes i am not full of energy to respond or join/look after groups as a host. i am truly sorry. But i do wish you all happy. Love to all of you.
If you are concerned about global warming and want to help solve it, I would like to personally invite you to see the new Paramount Classics movie -- ・An Inconvenient Truth・-- now playing at a theater near you.
www.stopglobalwarming.org/sgw_feature.asp?id=11
The film lays out the latest, up-to-date, most compelling facts about this unprecedented climate crisis in a foreceful presentation. It is filled with startling images and dramatic pictures showing clearly what is happening to our Earth and why global warming is now being called a 撤lanetary Emergency.・
I have tried to tell this story for 30 years. I'm sending you this email now because I feel so passionately that we simply do not have any more time to waste. This crisis is unlike anything we have ever faced. The debate among scientists is over!
According to the experts, the climate crisis could ・if unchecked ・literally destroy the habitability of the Earth and bring civilization to a halt.
This really is not a political issue. It is a moral issue! Here's what the Fox News reviewer wrote about the movie: not to be missed. It doesn't matter whether you're a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative....your mind will be changed in a nanosecond.・br /> Learning about this crisis is the first step toward solving it. Then, we all have to turn knowledge into action and concern into commitment.
My wife Tipper and I feel so strongly about the need for action, we are giving 100% of whatever profits we receive from the movie and the accompanying book by the same name, to a bipartisan educational effort.
Last weekend, the movie broke the all-time per screen record for any documentary movie in history ・and, incredibly, according to Variety, broke the all-time per-screen record for any movie opening on Memorial Day weekend. (Incidentally, that record was set by The Shining, back in 1980.)
Good news! Eight of 10 endangered Sumatran elephants that had been captured by government translocation teams were recently released into Tesso Nilo National Park, seven weeks after they were found chained to trees without food or water in central Riau, Indonesia. However, a firm commitment to secure their habitat is still needed.
WWF Activists Spoke Out:
Nearly 38,000 people from around the world signed a WWF petition urging the Indonesian government to end all logging, encroachment, and conversion of elephant forests in Riau, and asking the government to expand Tesso Nilo National Park.
The Elephants' Saga:
Local forestry officials had captured the elephants after they had damaged crops and homes near Libo Forest. WWF, which provided daily care and medical treatment for the elephants after their discovery, accompanied the authorities as they released the elephants to ensure that the release was done safely.
Of the 10 elephants found on March 21, en eight-year-old male died of an acute infection and a pregnant female escaped after four weeks. The remaining eight were released into Tesso Nilo National Park in good health after intensive medical care provided by WWF, but in late May WWF learned that one of the females that had been treated for tetanus died not far from where she had been released.
Implementation Needed Soon for Tesso Nilo Expansion:
WWF is concerned that Tesso Nilo is not a suitable release site as it is too small to provide habitat for more elephants. WWF fears that the release of the elephants into the park without an expansion and a plan to stop encroachment will simply shift the human-elephant conflict to other villages near Tesso Nilo.
Fortunately, good news came at the end of May when the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry and the government of Riau Province publicly committed to expand Tesso Nilo from 94,000 acres to 247,000 acres, as WWF activists had urged. This will provide much larger habitat for the elephants and help ensure that future conflicts with humans can be reduced. WWF urges the governments to officially decree and begin implementing the park expansion as soon as possible.
WWF applauds the quick action of the Indonesian authorities in showing a strong commitment to protect remaining elephant habitats in Riau and also prosecuting those who have killed elephants or destroyed elephant habitats. Recent police seizures of ivory in Medan, North Sumatra, are a good indication of this commitment. However, we are still calling on the Indonesian government to adopt and enforce legitimate human-elephant policy and protocol from here on out.
Thank you to everyone who took action. With your help, we are making a real difference.
Sincerely,
Sybille Klenzendorf, PhD Species Conservation Program World Wildlife Fund Washington, D.C.
Oroginal message is from Brenda P. If you know someone who lives in Ohio USA, or if you can post/send out to your friends, then please... Love xxx tomoko
URGENT:- CAN YOU HELP Sunday, 5:39 PM
"WITHOUT PREJUDICE"
I have permission to copy/paste the origional e-mail that was sent to me. If You live in the area of Lakewood, Ohio USA, or need more info, contact me via My Care2 profile and I can put You in touch with Jess.
From the phone call Jess & I had, Shaina is still at home with Jess. Neighbour is the one wanting Shaina put down.
I'm in Australia and Jess in Lakewood, Ohio, USA. Anyone live closer?
JUST FOUND THIS IN JUSTICE FOR MERCY GROUP.SHE SOUNDS DESPERATE.CAN ANY ONE HELP?? ALSO CAN YOU FORWARD TO YOUR FRIENDS PLEASE. THANKS BRENDA
Hi, everyone,
Please, this is a desparate situation, I'm hoping one of you, or someone you know, can help save Shaina's life.
My neighbor is campaigning to have my dog, Shaina, put to sleep, because she got out yesterday, and her dog and mine fought.
Robbie does not accept her responsibilty in this, at all, though I've accepted mine. And the city of Lakewood is much less than animal friendly.
So, here's what I'm asking - can anyone, or somebody one of you knows, adopt Shaina? She's come such a long way in the last few years! I can spend time, and teach anybody how to work with her, it's not that hard. I'd rather give her up than see her killed because of somebody's need for vengeance.
Please help. I'll answer all questions.. I just want to see her live, and love and be loved.
I may only have a few days. I'd move, but then who would take care of my mother?
Thanks... Jess and Shaina
P.S. She should not live with other dogs until she's become ok with them..and, please, no young kids..she's too high energy. She has such a love of and zest for life, and she cocks her head as if to understand you when you speak with her. In the past year, she's really started to trust folks, especially me, again, and that was a hard thing for her to learn. She needs a bit of exercise, I usually walk her about a mile per day, or more, and she's intelligent, so she loves learning. There's so much more, too...she is beautiful.
