		<description>Avatar is a very symbolic movie, even in the movie the use of symbols is prevalent. Like using an &quot;avatar&quot; to hide ones true form. By the way what are you trying to get across with this post... Maitreya... oops I meant Raj.</description>

		<description>Loveable blue Palestinians! :-)

Anyway, I can&#039;t withhold some background information concerning this topic.

&quot;This is what the Sovereign LORD says: These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel, with two portions for Joseph. You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will become your inheritance.
This is to be the boundary of the land:
On the north side it will run from the Great Sea by the Hethlon road past Lebo Hamath to Zedad, Berothah and Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer Hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar Enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the north boundary.
//On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the eastern sea and as far as Tamar. This will be the east boundary.//
On the south side it will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the south boundary.
On the west side, the Great Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo Hamath. This will be the west boundary.
You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the alien settles, there you are to give him his inheritance, declares the Sovereign LORD.&quot;
(Ezechiel 47:13-23)

		<description>Technology isn&#039;t always bad and I think the desire for new technologies is good. 

The problem ist the excessive use of polluting technologies - and the unequal distribution of technology. 

It has to be fair. Not everyone in the world can drive cars like americans/europeans do - the planet simply does not give that much resources and wouldn&#039;t bear the environmental impact.

Technology itself and the use of technology have to be sustainable. They&#039;re not bad by default.</description>

		<description>I have watch several of your interview about your book &quot;The value of nothing&quot; and since then I had this curiosity on your work. Yes, I had seen the movie &quot;Avatar&quot; and even search Orissa in India....very quite similar to the movie...It&#039;s been a sad truth that people are not contented on what they have, and even at the very expense of the majority... poeple always wants to develop technology and how to centralized the world but is it not enough for them to just live on a simple, harmless and unpolluted life...jut like the Na&#039;vi though they are primitive they value their nature and its resources. can we be just like them?</description>

		<description>Great! But then...travelling four lightyears is not a very big deal with white time tunnels, is it? ;-)Reality soon, I hope. 

I feel that the original message of Avatar was selling violence as a way to solve a conflict. With the good vibes of the avatars, this did not succeed. The focus changed. Hearts were opened to the reality of billions of other races. Races with hearts beating in the Universal Love Rhythm. The Vibration of One.</description>
