Follow up to one day blog silence

To follow up on what happened on the blog day of silence, here are a few quotes that caught my eye. Peter was on the money as usual,
especially if it were put into the context of "once the media decides to move on to something else!"We have somehow gotten desensitized to this problem. We read about it in the paper and watch it on TV and there is no longer any sense of outrage, anger or even a loud cry to do something about it.
Linda said something I believe in, hence why I posted something here, I guess.
. Silence can be deafening, but a lot of little squeaks really gets a rise out of people. If every blogger had said something, that would have been quite a statement.Perhaps silence speaks volumes but more importantly - voices carry. They carry messages that we all need to pay attention to
Anyway, thanks for the kind comments on my post, I am never quite sure how people take me when I am being serious for 2 minutes. No punchlines yesterday, just a punch, I hope.
And seriously, if you have kids or nephews or nieces in their 20's and 30's, afford them the opportunity to go and see the world that lies outside the tourist trap. It shouldn't be too hard to find something out there to affect / mend their thinking for the better.
As a clue, 75% of the world is so materially poor yet often spiritually rich, it would make you sick if you didn't change after spending time absorbed in faraway lands. And because most of the world is destitute, it is cheap when you get there. So there is no financial reason whatsoever why most people couldn't go traveling - but if you want excuses, you don't need any help from me to dream them up!
