Posted March 11, 2008 9:03 AM

From Yahoo! News: Science News:

North American Indians assembled in the shadow of ancient Mayan pyramids Monday discussed how their tradition wisdom could help save the planet, and were told that even indigenous cultures have struggled with environmental abuse. More than 200 leaders from 71 American Indian nations in Mexico, the United States and Canada came together in this Mexican jungle to find indigenous solutions to pollution and ecological problems threatening the planet.

So let me get this right....North Americans flew to South America to save the planet ? Somebody shout when they've done it. Maybe next year they can re-convene at Stonehenge, the locals have a wealth of knowledge to share. Oh, hang on, they've all moved into houses now.

Northern America if you like, but the Mayan bit isn't exactly in the Northern land mass. Anyways, I doubt they walked from Canada. Fact-finding missions and the like always seem to go somewhere interesting. Everyone could have met at a more central location.

Good:

Yes sir it, they do have great wisdom when apply it. Let's wait for the best. Mankind by nature inherently tend to be good but the sin is always present as well. This is what create the internal conflicts and sometimes prompt people to get in troubles unnecessaraly. It is good not to lose man guidance manual which is 'THE BIBLE' there are a lot of examples from mankind history data from past and into the future as well. Just review it frecuently will be a nice refreshner for the soul and a guide to try to imitate often. Not easy, because it's an internal conflict within sin and good in figthing one against each other, UNFORTUNATLY. I do believe that whatever give the AMERICA continent some more equilibrium will be good down the road. American continent if I'm rigth comprised the whole thing I belive or I'm wrong ? Which are North-Center-South- if they told me rigth, I guess. Anyway what can I tell Ya' everything is relative in the same time too. I don't know anymore. Wait for the 'BEST' then to happen...! Have fun and a nice one now.

Respectfully;

MC

Religion is a difficult thing to make view points.

but I find that there is a big difference between religion and beliving in god.

Conquests were started in the name of religion.
