earthlingβChildren have been shot in other conflicts | have covered. But never before have | watched as soldiers enticed children like mice, into a trap, and murdered them for sport.β

earthlingβThe third issue is the mechanism for distributing aid. Are we going to legislate the death traps that everyone sees in the agreement? Are we going to say we agree to the death traps remaining? Today, so many people were killed while trying to get aid. No one can agree to this.β
βWe want to protect our people, not to offer these victims as easy prey for Israeli planes that bomb and kill them all the time.β

earthling"My heart overflows with love for the beauty of this world.
I see war, but I paint flowers.
I paint what I want for this world. I try to reflect to the best of my ability the power and sacredness of Mother Earth which is the sacredness of all life as we know it.
May we live long enough to see humankind turn away from violence and greed and towards creating a world based on caring and giving. May we live long to see the world embrace global disarmament."

earthling"We are just one species among 10m. At the same time, though, we are unique in our ability to interact with one another in a way that enables us to make an impact on the entire planet and every other species. We have also, uniquely, evolved the capacity to evaluate our actions logically and morally from a greater perspective. With this insight comes great responsibility, and it is time for us to shoulder that responsibility β because nature is all we have, and all we are."
Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson
earthlingWhat is success?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
