Bombing any part of it is degradingly unthinkable, a mindless travesty of our use of technology. We are endowed by life's natural gifts to find our way into abundant livability and away from demeaning actions that reduce our collective ingenuity-potential to elevate humanity (all). Further, blowing up land and people anywhere undermines democracy and nullifies our innate abilities to solve humane problems in a civilized endeavor together. Hopefully we are civilized enough to hear what nature's messages are telling us: Treat this habitat with love and care, so nature can treat all humanity with life's natural gifts. Starving and destroying soil and air with oil-based pollutants and weapons starves us and causes most illnesses none can afford. The drives for renewable, clean solar/wind energies moves us into the direction of peace and shared security. The workplace yearns to spawn user-friendly economics that invents and invests in life-sustaining educational priorities our youth can embrace. It's a culture for win-win.
