if people sympathised with the cause a bit more, and yet still opposed it, rather than ridiculed and just got angry about being inconvenienced.
Yeah exactly, even if you don't agree, you can see the passion and try to understand it. Unless you're throwing molotov cocktails and wanting to hang minorities, of course.
I liked what you said about how people are used to being inconvenienced in Asia - we're certainly more spoilt in the west. But I'm not even sure we care THAT much, though the media would have us choose a side. We definitley need to rattle the status quo cage when it comes to matters of high importance.
My post is written and is already on schedule to go out tonight my time.
yep. we are still a very very long way off to doing anything meaningful toward changing the way we use our resources, or really reducing coal use etc.. Maybe this whole episode with Russia will help push us a bit.. so change may now start to happen.. for all the wrong reasons of course.. but hey that seems to be how this world works!
look forward to your post! <3
