[R-G] From Iran to China, Skipping Honduras

[Suzanne de Kuyper]

The practices of the world's wealthy for generations, if not millenia, has
been to ignore the poverty stricken, but the world has a new paradyme,
instant world-wide communication of the poverty-stricken and the amount of
them in an nuclear world.   It will soon be a seven billion human-kind, if
not already. Mass communications of all kinds including the ancient ones
educate
profoundly, unquantifiably.  Hondurans silenced are brothers of the
slaughtered Uirguirs of China,  the Canadian eskimo losing their lands
to rising seas.When
lower New York State, specifically Manhattan,is awash with sea water,Boston
auto tunnels are flooded, the airport a lake, and Hawaii is slipping beneath
the waves along with the Netherlands, the Canary Islands and Malta, the
human abiltiy to ignore its minorities will vanish.  They will be everyone.
 Us.  Coming soon to a theatre near you.
