    Thanks for posting that. I can't help but wonder what great strides might be made in this world if we all "just got along". I realize this will never happen, but it does help me to make the world as good as it can be for those that care for, love and rely on me.

    Such a beautiful, eye opening message. Sagan has always been a hero of mine.

    Sorry but who is we and what don't we get? You mean the message to the video? Yea well it is impossible to change the ideologies and ways of an entire species :rolleyes:

    we, is all of us, and we see the video, hear the truth, realise its wisdom... then go back to worrying about the petty small insignificant things in our lives....like how little money we have, or getting on with relatives....
    "changing the world to me is no chore.
    my big problem is the guy next door...."

    I'm not suggesting tackling the entire species.
    I'm suggesting that if we take the message, then we should take it to heart and walk the talk. otherwise it's just fancy words, falling on deaf ears... we appear to love the message, but putting it into action is just a step too far for any of us.....
