I am officially opposed to the salvation of the planet if the saviors include King `Abdullah of Jordan, Richard Gere, Dalai Lama, Elie Wiesel--especially Elie Wiesel, and Shimon Peres. But I cannot deny that the Saudi King of Jordan threw some pearls of wisdom: "The world is at a critical crossroads." I dont know about you, but when I read that sentence, it inspired me and changed my life. I felt that I really had to do something, anything, for the planet. I threw my shoes in protest.
