Balancing the blue marble
This is reasonably self explanatory. At least it should be.
Greed is excessive or uncontrolled desire for or pursuit of money, wealth, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. It is generally considered a vice, and is one of the seven deadly sins

just felt bored… / so what more to do that make a statement on GREED and what this world has turned into… / played with ROMO’s image and added some of my own… / a Photoshop work… HER WORK: /
Before our President elect was official, the current administration reacted to the knowing that they were almost out of power, by enacting measures to take Wolves off the Endangered species list, allowing power plants to operate near national parks, loosen regulations for factory farm waste and make it easier for mountaintop coal-mining operations. / I am agitated by all these efforts, however my greater concern is for the WOLF, as it was nearly eradicated here in the 20th century, remarkably recovered by sincere and persistent efforts, only to be threatened once again by the powers-that-be… As the Mourning Moon rises, we give thoughts to brother Wolf / whilst a mighty pen has warranted their sudden deaths to engulf A totem called upon for protection and strength to be taught / is in need of our right actions, not just words – to be fought From each sacred direction the mighty wolf pack calls / for their survival, as others’ face extinction with their fall From the Northern lights an airborne shooting hunt ensues / upon Ice-leapers’ lair, so a governors’ ego does not bruise In the east, paper stained with crude oil and blood / seals Dawn-treaders fate with powers’ arrogant flood To the south ignorance is bliss, to simply remove / Sun-chaser to another place with hunting skills to prove In the west, talk is cheap as habitat quickly disappears / so the Night-stalker fades into the shadows of souvenirs A pack of human voices is needed now to howl / in this eleventh hour, working together – on the prowl.

There seems to be no end to the greed at American International Group. Edward Liddy, chairman, tried to make the case that bonuses are needed to keep skilled executives. Have they no shame at all? The other image is one I took in Philadelphia by the 30th Street Station. This homeless man was sharing what little bread he had with the pigeons. Why is it in America that we reward the first, and blame the second?

Just my way of proving a point. We are suffering because of the greed from the oil companies.

My fav quote …...
The United States Congress and The Powers That Be / deregulated the banking industry. Was it the greed of corporations / or of the public who joined in the happy hop of cheap credit, / worthless collateral, the waltz of spending and golden parachutes… / no matter. Now the same United States Congress and The Powers / That Be are spinning backwards, but this time it will be in jackboots / and they will charge a dollar a dance. / Brother can you spare a …. dollar?
