This is to the world we live in! HELP

This is a sermon from my favorite book "The Gospel According to Larry." This is not a religous thing, but it will really make you think, and understand more about the world we live in... I hope you read all of this sermon.

"How about this for a fashion show? 

On the side of the runway, you've got models wearing trendy clothes kids spend their hard-earned money on. Crusing down the other side, you've got the poverty-stricken youth from Southeast Asia who make this "must-have" collection. The contrast should be enlightening- or mabey just embarrasing. 

Doesn't anyone else care about the encreasing gap between the have and the have-nots? Millions of people wearing the finest clothes, eating the best food, driving the fastest cars, while most of the world's population eat a small bowl of food, then sleep on a mat for a few hours, resting up for another eighteen-hour workday.

Did you know that HALF of the SIX BILLION people on the planet live on less than TWO DOLLARS a day? The price of a cup of designer coffee at starbucks. Makes me sick just thinking about it.

Out STUFF lives better than most of the people in the world do.

To say nothing of how we're treating nature. Drill for oil in the Arctic Circle? Why not. Rich white men need to get richer, dont they? Drop the emision standards so gas companies can turn a bigger profit? Sure! Why worry about the the ozone layer when we've got stockholders to think about?

Nature is going to mutiny one of these days- giant earthquakes or floods just to evict our sorry asses.

I mean, doesn't anyone remember the Lorax? Who is speaking for the trees these days? We're producing and consuming ourselves into oblivion, completely out of touch with the real world, the natural world. If your life depended on it, could you tell what time it was by the sun? Could you find north without a compass? Could you tell the difference between a white oak and a red maple? didn't think so.

We're not fit to live in the world anymore; we're tourists, clear-cutting our way across the planet till nothings left.

(In case your interested, the maple's the one with the wide three-pointed leaves.)"

I'll be posting moe of his sermons here later on, but for now you should really think about this one...
