other sites

_____

Its anthem is the wind in her trees
And the waves of her seas.


I've known about this first site for several months, but put off exploring it.  There was a time when I wanted to be the one to make the Flag of Earth available again...  It's not like I don't want anyone to be able to order one unless it's from me, but I failed to follow through on that, so it was a sore spot...  At least I got some T-shirts made...




Found something today while seeing if a search for my new member site (now approaching full functionality) would bring it up...  ONE NATION EARTH is what it's called...  Little there but fancy flash and a link, so far, but the link takes you to a MySpace page -- and yes I've sent a friend request...

If you're on MySpace and for some reason are not yet connected to me there, my page is:  myspace.com/earthpatrol


Back to the One Nation Earth site...  Something there bothers me.  If you watch the flash long enough you'll see it says, among other things, 'one god' and 'one religion'.  This is just as unacceptible as saying NO god and NO religion.  Personally I think there is something out there (and in here, and everywhere) that for a lack of a better word we can call 'God', but I do not subscribe to any religion and certainly wouldn't want to foist one off on everyone else.

Explore the MySpace page and within the "Who I'd like to meet" section you'll see it says "I believe it's time for all of us to realize that there is only One True Religion in this Life called...  Love."  Well, that's fine -- but dude, please remove the misleading and potentially offensive 'one god' and 'one religion' from your official site.  It would also be a good idea to revert to an earlier version of your profile, dude -- the beta version isn't working very well (at least in Google Chrome)...


Perhaps I should be more actively searching for sites that mirror the Nation of Earth outlook, and perhaps I will, and perhaps some of them will be worthwhile...
