I was asked recently what I thought the world would be like in 100 years. The question was meant to solicit if I am an optimist or a pessimist.

A lot of people deny it and still pretend it going to be ok.
But now my oldest child goes to school and I wish they would do more there to bound with Nature.I am trying to teach them respect for Nature and Wildlife but she is more at school than at home....
money and greed are Gods in the society

I sooo totally agree with you Alicya
Children for example,there is not enough teaching in schools these days on enviroment,respect for nature and all living creatures,but also even in the homes by many parents,they lack the responcibility to teach their children to have respect,thank God some of us parents still do teach their children,but it's not enough~!!!.Just follow the news on how many children are not scared off inflict cruelty on animals,are not enviroment friendly and show No respect for life in General.And children today are our future.I just hope that the children who Do Care and have respect are with many more than the ones who don't give a ....
Myself,well,i'm getting more and more consurned about the world we live in.Like you said,Money and Greed are Gods in the society,and that will be our downfall !!!

Only after the last tree has been cut..the last river has been poisoned..the last fish been caught...than you will find out that money can not been eaten...
-Cree prophecy-
I do hope that in the future the history will be heard and people start to listen instead of using empty words.
I do believe that Natives had it right from the beginning and I do understand that Paul Watson is a Wounded Knee veteran,so he knows what he is talking about .
Another wise words,I have read it on a profile from myspace
The old Lakota was wise. He knew that a man’s heart away from nature becomes hard. "
It is from someone who is trying to safe the dingo's.Hilke has led me to it...

The world has to change it's attitude to all living beings and nature drastically and it has to begin in the home and carried on in schools. We live in a society of greed and materialism but i think things will slowly change when people WAKE UP!! Which is the difficult part.

and act on it.
people are lazy these days.When I walk around in the forest I see all kind of mess and that is just the least you can do to clean it up.Saw on the website of Ramon a newsitem about fishings line.I do live close to a river here and people dont take that with them after they went for fishing.
I always pick it up and wonder about how stupid people can be or better said how stupid people are

About 6 years ago watched that too ,we called also the animal ambulance .There was a coot with a fisherslineand the hook in his legs.we saw that it was making some strange moves...we called and the man from the animal ambulance had the right tools to free the coot from the hook and line,very quickly too...It happens more than people think..I hate that,that people dont think about other life
