COMMUNICATION AND HOW IT CHANGED US


Life and communication has changed a lot in the last 60 years that I actually witnessed.
This is how life used to be.
Right after the second world war in Germany people in small villages had no access to local news. For a while a man went around different places in the village, rang a big bell and told people the local news in a loud voice. Once newspapers could be printed again, the news cryers became obsolete.

CREATE A SAFE SOCIETY NOW

There is so much to do.
Everywhere I look there are people to help, animals and plants to preserve, messes to clean up and on top of it to live a life I love.
Where to start?
We have to choose where to make a difference.
Creating a society where it is safe to live without fear of getting killed is a big job and a good place to start. Some people, especially the young, will take on the task of decreasing possession of guns in the country. Continue reading CREATE A SAFE SOCIETY NOW

WHEN ELEPHANTS FIGHT, THE GRASS GETS TRAMPLED

The Zanzibarians nail it. Regular people are getting trampled across the planet by the various elites.
Most of the regular people everywhere are just trying to live their lives. No regular people get up in the morning deciding that they are going to rip off millions, arresting others who are trying to expose wrong or blowing up yet others. Continue reading WHEN ELEPHANTS FIGHT, THE GRASS GETS TRAMPLED

TALKING IS SO 90s

I am just as in love with my Iphone as the next person. I check my messages, my facebook and my texts when I get up and throughout the day. I love to be able to be in contact with people in my environment and all over the world. I have relationships with people I have never met, people whose insights, self-expressions and caring for the planet elicits my deepest respect. And of course the opposite of it too.
