Amazing short film from Japan about putting your head in the sand.



Wow.  Just... WOW...  this is a short film everyone in the world needs to see.  I took from it, not just an anti-nuclear message, but also an anti-head-in-the-sand message.  And how many problems are we willing to address, these days, that aren't just distractions from even bigger problems?  For instance, we focus on terrorism because curing cancer and AIDS and other more-deadly-than-terrorists health issues is too hard.  Or we focus on the debt ceiling because dealing with the root causes (corporate greed) of our economic mess would cost our leaders a lot of money in campaign contributions.

I could go on, sadly.  Education, science, the environment are all being ignored and in the big picture, those are vastly more important than our economy or wiping out terrorism.
