116 [lbo-talk] An Inconvenient Truth -- rank: 1000

I agree. It had a lyrical quality amid all the science. So many people are disconnected from nature. This film brought the beauty and magnificence of the natural environment into focus. I am horrified at how many children in LA have no experience with nature or appreciation for it. Adults live in the city and forget their lifeline to nature. If nothing else perhaps some will get reconnected to the reality that nature supports us. Marta On Jul 3, 2006, at 10:46 AM, Wojtek Sokolowski w ...
