 “The main hangup in the world today is hypocrisy and insecurity. If people can’t face up to the fact of other people being naked or smoking pot, or whatever they want to do, then we’re never going to get anywhere. People have got to become aware that it’s none of their business and that being nude is not obscene. Being ourselves is what’s important. If everyone practiced being themselves instead of pretending to be what they aren’t, there would be peace.”

 ===The Walrus is under serious threat from Climate Change===
-Anthropogenic (human made) climate change is caused by deforestation and the burning of fossil carbon fuels which pumps carbon dioxide into the atmoshpere which causes the greenhouse effect (also known as global warming). Experts predict that by 2080 or sooner, the Arctic Ocean will be completely free of ice during the summer unless we cut our carbon emissions considerably. Native people and fauna of the Arctic such as the polar bear and walrus are faced with a serious threat to their survival. [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/14/AR2006041401368.html The Washington Post] reports that ''"the rapid melting of Arctic sea ice appears to be separating walrus young from their mothers, leaving them likely to die at sea"''. The impact of burning carbon fossil fuels anywhere in the world affects nature in the whole world because we share the atmosphere. Reducing and eliminating the use of carbon fossil fuels is globally important for all of nature and humanity. The walrus is an example and a symbol of the beauty of world nature under threat from a carbon-induced Nemisis.
