It's an example of how much we take for granted. We just expect these things and expect everyone to have them forgetting that much of the world does not. And these are the places that lack communication that have much of the unrest and warring, etc. I read some article somewhere, can't remember where now, where certain organizations are starting to introduce technology into parts of the world that do not have it yet. That is also a step in the right direction (or could be bad if used for wrong and deceitful purposes). These people would be easily taken advantage of.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-20519569150790230142008-05-12T23:20:00.000-05:002008-05-12T23:20:00.000-05:00Hate to be the one that ruins this, but a majority...Hate to be the one that ruins this, but a majority of the third world nations are poor, thus they don't even have a friggin TV, nevermind a cell phone of internet access, to watch or take part in this "Pangea Day".<BR/><BR/>Still, cripes, its a start!<BR/>Something has to be done to stop this "we are better than you" routine that is slowly destroying this planet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-19003656830465214752008-05-12T22:30:00.000-05:002008-05-12T22:30:00.000-05:00Thanks for bringing this to my attention Star.I've...Thanks for bringing this to my attention Star.<BR/><BR/>I've been thinking for some time now, and have been contemplating a series of posts on, the need for some kind of human solidarity movement that transcends race, religion, nationality and so forth.
