We went to see An Inconvenient Truthover the weekend and I have to admit I cried. I cry at a lot of movies but this was different. I was deeply hit by the message of the documentary. I think about my niece and wonder what she and her generation are going to have to face as a result of our myopia. I wonder what I will have to live through in my lifetime. I also think about my parents and how they must have felt during the war (WWII). What it meant for my Dad to join the service (before he was even of age) to help in a cause he believed in.
We can't sit by and let this happen and not try to do something. Al is right this is a moral imperative. In the Christian tradition it is called a sin of omission, knowing you should do something and not doing it. Now it the time take action. Tell everyone you know, if you don't understand or believe what is happening is real go see this movie. And if you do know what is happening then do whatever you can to change the way you live. It will take everyone doing there part to make it work. We are all part of the problem, so it is up to us to be the solution.
