as if we needed more proof

"Commander Eileen Collins said astronauts on shuttle Discovery had seen widespread environmental destruction on Earth and warned on Thursday that greater care was needed to protect natural resources."

"Sometimes you can see how there is erosion, and you can see how there is deforestation. It's very widespread in some parts of the world," Collins said in a conversation from space with Japanese officials in Tokyo, including Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

Big Cars. Oil over consumption. Depletion of Natural Resources. Exploitation of what remains green and blue on the earth. Weather Changes all over the world (hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, extreme heat and cold).

When will people take notice and change? It's already visible from space! Now the Aliens can laugh at us.

And what does the mom, with two kids, driving around in a Hummer, have to say about this? They had no comment, too busy on their cell phones.

Well-put.

In my opinion, energy concerns and enviromental destruction are more important than any "war" on terror. But straight out of 1984, the government will continue to create enemies of mass distraction to keep regular people from realizing the looming crisis.

not everyone is blind to the truth:
