“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.”

I have a vague recollection, when I was much younger, about something related to the “Ugly American“.
“Ugly American is a pejorative term used to refer to perceptions of loud, arrogant, demeaning, thoughtless, ignorant, and ethnocentric behavior of American citizens mainly abroad, but also at home. Although the term is usually associated with or applied to travelers and tourists, it also applies to US corporate businesses in the international arena.”
It seems to me that people are busy with their daily lives and daily routine. Sometimes I wonder if they have their heads in the sand or are simply enjoying this idiotic, sophomoric and ridiculous spectacle currently happening in the political arena.
Seems to me that many have limited views. Some don’t even consider the effects caused outside the USA.
It is possible … that America is becoming the laughing stock of the rest of the world with all this going on.
Not a good thought.
The GOP and Trump will try to dismiss this as ravings of a “foreigner” who doesn’t know anything about ‘Merica… but I think he’s got Trump, the GOP and what people around the world think … pegged

“I’m a 21 year old aspiring Public Figure/Speaker/Activist that’s trying to expand the human consciousness.”
The voices of the younger generation are very important. They are the ones who will inherit this world and one day be the guardians and the keepers of it. It gives me a little hope to hear voices like this one. Maybe ….. just maybe, we can turn back sometime.

~~Humanity, It’s Time To Wake Up~~
~~Published on Oct 7, 2014~~
~~PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO DESCRIPTION~~
There are an estimated 7.2 billion people on earth, of which we’ve labelled as humanity
in 36 years there will be an estimated 9.7 billion, as you can see, we’re increasing rapidly.
Roughly 3200 cities, 195 of which are capital
we’re destroying our planet just to make more areas habitable …..
The problem is our empathy, our lack of responsibility
we’re all guilty, we’re all filthy, we’re all riddled with impurity ……
This isn’t about me, this will never be about me, this is about the world that put us here and is begging us to see
because if we want to see the change then we have to be the change
sacrifice personal gain and gain world peace in exchange
stop supporting fame, stop playing the game
find ourselves and realize that us humans have so much.
The voices of the younger generation are very important. They are the ones who will inherit this world and one day be the guardians and the keepers of it. It gives me a little hope to hear voices like this one. Maybe ….. just maybe, we can turn back sometime.

~In his own words~
“I’m a 21 year old aspiring Public Figure/Speaker/Activist that’s trying to expand the human consciousness.”
Human activity is destroying the natural systems that we depend upon for our survival. Our most basic instinct as humans is to survive; yet we continue to destroy our life-support machine. Connected humans understand this terrible contradiction; disconnected humans are not able to.
Not all humans are responsible: just those who are part of Industrial Civilization. Industrial Civilization depends on economic growth and the unsustainable use of natural resources, so it has developed a complex set of tools for keeping people disconnected from the real world and living a life that keeps civilization running. Humans have been manipulated in order to be part of a destructive system.
Civilization is complex and delicate: it depends on everything running smoothly and also depends upon people having faith in its goodness. Global ecological systems are changing in unpredictable and major ways; natural resources are running out rapidly; the population is growing, particularly the population of urban areas; there is considerable political and civil unrest developing throughout the world: any combination of these factors are likely to lead to a sudden and catastrophic collapse of civilization during the 21st century.

There is so much division. There is so much conflict.
Our world, the only place we have to live in as one human race, is divided by so many borders. Borders which, at a distance, can’t be seen. Differences which are man-made. We come from the same Source. The similarities are divine, the differences are created and assigned by humans.
WE ARE ONE HUMAN RACE

From a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. It’s the voice of hope, it’s the voice of peace, it’s the voice of every man.
From a distance we all have enough, and no one is in need. And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease, no hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments marching in a common band. Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace. They’re the songs of every man. God is watching us. God is watching us. God is watching us from a distance.
From a distance you look like my friend, even though we are at war. From a distance I just cannot comprehend what all this fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. And it’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves, it’s the heart of every man.
It’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves. This is the song of every man. And God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us from a distance. Oh, God is watching us, God is watching. God is watching us from a distance.

Looks like Jamie Dunmore came to America this summer …. and had a ball!! This video reminds me of what America can be. It portrays the beauty that is inherent in the country that we call America.
It shows wildlife, wilderness, cities, urban, country, facilities. It’s inspiring, serene. There’s great potential. Let’s work together to keep it this way …. the way Jamie saw and experienced it.
