Hug someone

+China's Korean balancing act - Asia-Pacific - Al Jazeera English

It's such a crazy world. So many things going on at one time. How can this planet keep all the plates spinning so fast? I watched a TV show last night. It was called The Nostradamus Effect. It gave me bad dreams. The episode was quite disturbing...not because of it's content, I'm not a fan of mumbo-jumbo...but because it reminded me of just how fragile everything is. Nostradamus Effect — Episode Guide Episode Guide — History.com and just how much we are not in control of our environment.
When I look at what is going on with BP in the Gulf of Mexico, and when I realize that there are 27 or so recognized conflicts going on at this moment in time and then I read that the G20 and G8 summits that are going to be held in Canada this summer are costing over a billion dollars Demand made to probe costs for G8, G20 my head starts to spin.
I was lucky enough to stumble across a CBC News Now program called Power and Politics with Evan Solomon...one of the topics that caught my eye and then proceeded to kick me in the stomach was completely related to the insane cost of the Global Summits in relation to the Global crises of sustainable development. Ever since I watched that segment CBC - Videos - /News/Politics/ID=1505968718 I have been shell shocked. Please take a moment to watch the CBC segment and then watch the video below. Then get mad, get frustrated and then go hug the person you love.
