Links Against Chosen Ignorance

I am providing a few info/news web links to people with hope that they will pursue further information than that shown on TV.

Everyone can help. Every person who refuses to be ignorant of the world around them has taken the first step towards making that world a better place. Every person who has access to the Internet and its massive information database can help by sharing this information with people who do not. This is your chance as an Internet user to help those around you. If we all learn more about the world around us, then we will be better equipped to maintain it. If we all learn more about people inhabiting this world, then we will all be better able to understand, tolerate, and support them.

Please forward or copy/paste these to anyone who you suspect wants to know more about the insanity of humanity around them.

With the current US crises in mind:

Again I say: the internet is a vast resource for useful information. All who can need to make use of its informative capacity. These are only a small number of national and international information/news media sites. Please explore and learn all you can about the world, this situation and any others we involve ourselves in. Share what you learn. Be grateful we even have access to information in this quantity, for far too many people on this planet do not.

We are all part of a living system that must know about itself to be able to understand, tolerate and sustain itself.

What ever our color, creed or country, we are all the same species. We cannot survive if we incessantly obliterate ourselves, with no regard for each other’s lives, or in service of some quasi, half-known, falsely portrayed or seldom true political or religious values! Knowledge is both the best and the worst kind of power, but it is essential!

I hope that whatever decisions we make in the future are, at the very least, well informed.
