A short observation on Huffington Post made me think yet again how scary it will be to have kids in this world. Where are we headed? We are going too fast to assess or reroute.
The Day a Dozen Parents and Children Killed a Shark for a Selfie (Joanna Zelman)
This is a writer who witnessed a group of people kill a shark for fleeting and self-important photos. (I'm happy to note here that blogger has not yet included the word "selfie" in its dictionary as it is still underlined in a happy squiggly red line.) It's short. Read it, it makes you think.
On another note (that connects to Zelman's fear of our youth losing connection to nature), has anyone read the book, Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv? It's great. We need to reconnect with our natural world for our own sanity. I'll post more about that book later, maybe, if I think of it.
