How Hypocritical We Are....

I had a chance to watch The Movie "Deep Impact". The story is about two big comets on their way to Earth. As I was watching this movie, I thought about all the conflicts around the world. I am right now listening to today's edition of Democracy Now about the cost of the Iraq War, about the continued killings in Israel and the Palestinian Territories and thought about the hypocracy of it all. We have lost seven years to think about taking our lives to the next level. Will we have the will to truly committ to change and think about insuring that there are no people who are hungry and who are sick? Will we committ to go to the stars and allow our planet to be able to expand its' horizons? I wonder if ordinary people truly matter.
