Manifest Destiny
Nick Gerber remains one of my favorite photographers.
I don’t want to be the girl who plays mind games.
So I’m not.
I’m not trying to confuse you.
Everything is just confusing me.
It’s all right outside of my grip.
Or maybe it’s all just simple.
Maybe I’m just hoping too strongly to accept the simple answer: “It can’t happen”.
Maybe I am playing mind games.
The Battle for Jeju Island: How the Arms Race is Threatening a Korean Paradise
There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Jeju Island, even though it’s a newly named “Wonder of Nature,” a UNESCO Global Geosite, and an incredible spiritual, culturally and ecologically unique land.
It’s also “cursed” with the geostrategic disadvantage of being just about the perfect place for the U.S. military to build an anti-ballistics missile defense base, to keep us safe from China.
Locals are protesting the construction, but they’re running out of time.
Read Robert Redford’s plea to save Jeju Island, and then visit SaveJejuIsland.org to help. (via: onearth)
