A Final
Opportunity

How did I ever think I could stop writing letters? Too much is happening. We have another golden opportunity to do the "right" thing. (The last was in 2000.)

Last night I saw Al Gore’s film "The Inconvenient Truth." It didn’t tell me anything I didn’t know, but he does a superb job of trying to make people understand what is going on. For a long time we’ve done a lot of things without keeping "Earth in Mind."

Today I heard on the news that our president was going to postpone any decision on Iraq until after January 1. He doesn’t want to make such a momentous decision hastily. Interesting—when you look at his record. The majority of American people want to bring the troops home immediately, and let the Middle East solve its problems, hopefully with the help of the U.S. and NGO’s (non-governing organizations).

We are told we are a democracy—governing is of the people, by the people, for the people. If his decision is not to bring the troops home immediately and remove American pressure, I urge that we impeach those in power who now make the decisions and put in power those who will make decisions for both earth and humans.

It is our last chance to avoid "collapse."
