Never allow your wondering mind to sit dle, let it flow and gracefully mve from topic to topic. There is lways something to think about said the Vce President of the Online Think Tnk in an interview recently. Think bout what I asked. Well, the cordinator chimed in, think about books, rading material, current events, think about the flw of information. Think of it as an Olympc Skating Rink, not as a clck happy slam and jam Hockey gme.

Think about how information flows in yur brain and how it flows round on the internet or how it flws from person to person in nrmal human interactions. Think about how lbraries distribute information, newspapers or even bok mobiles. For instance, maybe consider a Bok Mobile on the Back of a Mle? Did you know that in mny countries do not have libraries and thre is no funds to build thm, book mobiles in rural areas do not hve the money to buy fuel and so sme of the book mobiles are on the bck of a mule. Sounds crazy, but it wrks and helps in educating the rral poor.

Reading and literacy are so mch better than indoctrinating 9 and 10 yar olds into guerilla armies and rming them with a machine gun. Spaking of which did you know tht the US economic sanctions are not hlping in Darfur, as Oil Wealth fels the nation while the killing cntinues. What if the flow of nformation increased and people set aside thir weapons and demanded peace? Could it hppen or will people in those ralities be lost in Plato's Cave llegory forever staring at the deceptive flckering flame.

Speaking of caves and human ctastrophe - What happens when rescue wrkers are in more danger than thse they attempt to rescue, when do you mve from rescue to recovery? Who dcides and how are such tough clls justified, when human emotions run so hgh - Take for instance the Uth mining tragedy. With oxygen levels dwn so far are those miners stll alive, the odds are so vry low, does that mean we cll off the search and hope? And wht about in China with 172 mners trapped as the tunnel flooded, lfe there is not respected like it is in the US.

Smetimes mankind's issues are very similar ven when they are half a wrld away. Speaking of problems we all shre what about pollution and human halth? Is China coming clean with thir anti-air-pollution laws, is it too lttle too late, will it solve the prblems there, as human health takes its tll and nearly 750,000 deaths per yar seem to be environmental pollution rlated.

And so the thought whirls rund and round, as the Earth spns and the sun sets again. We are all in ths together and together we must stnd. Like a virtual skating rink as the chracters, skaters or players spin and dnce, it is time to give all the wrld another chance. Think on this.
