Not all things that are called sustainable today can be proven to be so. It is man-kinds’ nature to be near sighted and to not see the long term effects that they have on the earth. Whole civilizations have disappeared repeatedly throughout history and I believe it is due to a lack of awareness. In order to create things that are truly sustainable we must be willing to look further into the future and be able to understand and learn from the past.

     We as Americans seem to have a thick skin when it comes to violence and death. We only gasp if the circumstances are tragic, but even school shootings and deranged murderers are becoming the norm. Movies, tv, video games and nightly news provide us with more than enough sad, grotesque stories so that we get our fill everyday in one form or another, but when it comes to actually dealing with death, we as a nation are infantile.

The Bio on his Web Page reads: “Love God, family, sports, music, and money in that order...Always on the come up, always pushin’ forward...”  And to meet the man himself you would see why his priorities are listed in that order.

For the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, coming back home should be a time for celebration, not sorrow. Yet as the drip-drip-drip of military suicides continues to make the front pages of local newspapers, the reality is anything but cheery, and increasingly the first source of news isn't the local newsreader or reporter--but Facebook and Twitter. Yet as John Winn discovers, social media and the Internet can be a help as well as a hurt. The military is already harnessing the Web to reach out to disaffected vets--but are the troops listening?
