erik....
this is not about you personally in any way.
there are some rich people out there, some from hollywood, some from pro
sports, etc. that do a great deal for conservation and other causes.
this is not about them really either.
i'm just a little sick of rich people saying they want to do things or
worse yet, giving....what to most of us might seem like a huge sum of
money to a certain cause, but it's really nothing in end to them. am not
saying their "donations" are not worth something to the cause they are
funding. i'm not suggesting someone give all their money away and live
on the street, would like to see some millionaire type give enough money
away so that it impacts their lifestyle in some way. that would really
show me how they feel about the cause they say that they are behind.
most of these rich folks, especially athletes and hollywood types make
donations to further market themselves. they wouldn't consider doing it
anonymously, that would defeat the purpose.
i hope this is just me being very grumpy early in the morning here.
thanks.

Today I asked a Hollywood star what she'd like to do if she were not
so busy entertaining the masses, she said "I would love to study
whales and other marine mammals, either in the North Pacific Ocean off
the coast of Washington and British Columbia, or frankly anywhere,
jellyfish off the coast of Japan..." Huh!
She also said this: "I think it is deeply important to feel the
connection to nature, to what we are fighting to protect, to the
beauty and wonderment, the magic and the fragility..."
Pretty cool person! More here:
