Thinking beyond photography

While amateur photography is a hobby and one I am passionate about, I would like to take a moment to reflect on another Blog at this website that a friend sent to me.
The friend is another new Gaia member and her Profile can be found here. Safirelady.
She tends ot be a very insightful lady indeed. A progressive kind of thinker who often sees beyond and too a depth. I often talk with her about life's many issues.
And as often she helps me find something I might surely have other wised missed.
Even though she is a newer member than I, she pointed out a video here that was taken of George Carlin.
The video is called: " George Carlin on the American Dream, viewable by folowwing this link. ".
As I watched this video I felt that George Carlin must surely be one of the,  best get it right speakers I have heard in a long time.
His cutting edge insight into whats behind what we deal with in America seems to be right on target. he says what I often think when it comes to some of the woes that loom just behind many a turn. I suppose there are better ways to put that. But it all come down to the same thing.
Excessive greed and general lack of truth to the American public from those who have sworn to serve. Who they end up serving is the real question, because then ma-by you can figure out how you wont benefit and why you haven't been, and wont be. We need to consider failings of the past and realize that they will continue unless someone comes along who's intent is in the right place and current with the times. As I have mentioned to a few friends. It seems to me that the next American President will will as important as George Washington was with little concern for all those who are in between. I believe the future will be like a unique kind of turmoil and unexpected things will come our way. By our I mean the peace seeking part of the world. They know who they are. But do they know how to achieve it and keep it. It will take someone who actually has a plan and can hang in there with it.
We all now live with-in such a connective society that to have a loss of one major commodity would most likely mean the loss of others.
Consider for instance if there was a Global Oil Crunch and what that would lead to. This web site offers a lot of information concerning Oil usage. be sure and look lower on the page for the article referred to as COLLISION IN SLOW MOTION .
Im not going to get into End times stuff here, not yet anyway, but it can help to give some thought to various negative possibilities that may occur and what if anything should be done.
One website that offers a quick view of Gasoline prices is called Gas Buddy found here.
I have no affiliations with them but occassionally use this website just to see where ther best fuel prices are to be found. It can be interesting to check on pricing around the country.
For now I will leave you with that and move on.....

I am an over the road truck driver and listen to various talk radio shows a lot.
I have been doing so for many years now and am therefore up to speed on a lot of issues.
In a sense these are no fun to think about. On the other many are way too important not too.
No doubt from time to time I will post some of these concerns here.
That doesn't mean I necessarily have the best answers but will simply try to help bring something of personal interest to the attention of the viewing public.
There are movie stars that are taking an active role in helping identify various problems with-in our Society. One example is a huge effort by Kelly Preston, who is also the loving wife of John Travolta.  Kelly Preston and husband together are making a difference in getting the word out to Parents and Children concerning Drug abuse. This goes way beyond the casual offer on the streets to buy them. But read for yourself. at this website where she offers a free information pack for Parents and their Children.
In researching her valiant efforts to help children further I discovered that she has also co-hosted a video with Olivia Newton-John,  on Ways to Avoid Exposing Children to Chemicals in the Home. Worth reading and probably worth ordering as well. Read about the video here.

Well there are many issues that should be of immense concern these days and one reason I consider many that involve children has to do with a belief that when a society seems to have little concern for its children than ma-by its on the wrong track on a lot of things.  We were after all once children.  There is I am sure plenty of concern for children in the USA and hopefully with-in many other Countries as well. But not all. One thing we can and should do is to try to stay abreast of situations with-in our homes and consider carefully what we buy and keep around. I am indeed find of Kelly Preston and her husband John Travolta.
I like them in movies and I like them as people and am proud to say that thanks to folks such as these many more will find answers before its too late.
