As mankind continues to ravage the planet we call home, the Earth refuses to become just another victim of our destructive nature. It is the Earth that gives us life, not us who gives life to the Earth. She will fight back with billions of years of experience on her side. She shows favor to those who live in harmony with her, and delivers devastating blows to those who mean her harm. She tries to warn us that her beauty will not always be evident, that danger lurks in her many facets, and that her ugliness, when it does appear, is not intentional. She was just born that way. She will warm us, feed us, clothe us and protect us if we are wise. Freeze us, starve us, strip us and destroy us if we are not. We are at her mercy for our survival. Yet, we expect her to bend to our will, as if it were the other way around. We blindly ignore warnings that if our current global consumption and production patterns continue, by 2050 we'd need three planets to sustain our current lifestyles. We selfishly expect her to bear the burden on her own. Meanwhile, man looks to the stars for answers to all the wrong questions, and then looks into polluted waters down here and wonders why he sees no reflection. What stories will we tell our children when they ask us how things got like this? Will it be a story of how we learned from our mistakes and realized every human is precious? Will we tell them that we came to our senses and found ways to live in harmony with the planet and each other? Will we be able to tell them how we finally demanded that love conquer hatred? That when we finally figured out we had no place else to go, we cried to the Earth for her forgiveness? Will we be able to tell them that it's not problems they should fear, rather, they should fear those who deny the problem exists, and therefore stand in the way of finding a solution? We live amongst plants and animals great and small, and when we were few in number, all other living things were better off. Air was pur

Witty, sarcastic, and humorously captivating. Real episodes with real golfers, and real funny. We called him "Mr. D," not his correct name, but one that he liked. Mr. D was rich enough to own all the pineapple fields on Oahu, but he'd rather sneak out and steal a few pineapples instead. "Hank" turns out to be a virulent "Hank-Enstein" in the chapter of the same name. You will discover that the three "Patrick's" have something more in common than their given names. "Doc," not an actual doctor, and Nick, who may have been the inspiration behind the cable TV series, The Sopranos, are more of the personalities who are the focus of these chapters. There are numerous books devoted to professional athletes. For the game of golf in particular, readers can find publications about Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, and many other pros.

Imagine having a headache. What would you do? Take an aspirin? Massage your palms just beneath your thumbs? Go to sleep? What if the headache is so painful it hurts to breathe, move or even think? Would you go see a doctor? Probably, right? The doctor can basically do two things; mask the pain with medication or identify the root cause and correct it. Like the use of medicine that blocks the pain, Humanity has been conditioned to deny, or ignore, the universally common and unnecessary reality that Human Beings pay to live. We are numb to the fact the world is a byproduct of efforts to steal the natural resources of the planet and do little, if anything, besides taking aspirin, to stop the theft. C Anthony Walk believes the root cause of a world, where, conservatively 50% of the population is materially poor, 42% have no running water, sink or toilet, and war is the foundation for the global economy, is fear of a non-European/non-Christian dominant culture. The idea of dominance is misused when the emphasis should be on the universal themes shared by every culture. Humanity's common values are more than enough to build a new world and new idea of what it means to live. To be alive. To be Human. By addressing the root cause of the pain we clearly see Humanity is evolving. One day Humans will be able to do whatever can be imagined if we are Good, Knowledgeable and Healthy. Humanity is evolving and the standards of previous generations will not apply to the coming ones. In many ways they don't apply now. New standards of acceptable public behavior, acceptable public broadcast content, of what is expected from those elected to represent, legislate and preside. Leadership is changing to demonstrate a broader vision of Human capacity, the idea of a cosmopolitan civilization, and the opportunities awaiting here on Earth and out in the Galaxies. The Planeterian Principles is a book for people who believe there are civilizations on other planets and that the Planet Earth
