So how can you talk about politics without discussing war? I saw No End In Sight a while ago and thought it was a superb documentary on the Iraq war. It has the most in depth coverage of the war that I have seen. If you are really interested in educating yourself on some of the details and facts of the war that you won’t see on TV, check it out. The movie imbedded above is the full length movie.
I’m going to keep posting some good primer movies and then hopefully make some kind of entry where I can start to discuss the ways in which I think all these issues are inextricably joined and woven together: war, animal usage, environmental impacts, food, energy and a few others as well. I also hope to start discussing not only these potential problem areas, but also some ideas that could possibly help to ease these problems. Again, I think the discussion will have to incorporate a spiritual element of self discovery. A development of self with clear respect for and a meaningful connection to nature, as well as those people around you.
As human kind moves forward, more and more boundaries are falling. The world is indeed becoming more globalized and linked in many ways. I think people need to start seeing the world without country boarders, nationalistic pride and even pride in their own accomplishments. These arbitrarily contrived borders only serve as tools to manipulate your psyche. If you can see the world with no borders for just one second… imagine it. Then who are “we” fighting in Iraq? The answer would be we’re fighting ourselves. Humans are humans are they not? We need to stop seeing the world with so many divisions and boundaries and borders and controls. We all come from the same Earth and desire the same things. It time to start questioning the people that are creating these boundaries for you.
