The Nobel Prize Laureates video

I really liked the two interviews with the Nobel Peace Prize Laureats, John Hume and Mairead Corrigan, especially the second one - it forced me to overthink some primary issues we are used to think about much less than we should.

Of course, I do absolutely agree with everything that Mairead Corrigan says, for her arguments should be obvious and appealing to everyone. But what really stroke me was the notion, that no one touches such important issues like international policy, human rights and legalised violence in everyday life. Media are getting excited about accidents like the Roman Polański's case (about which I'm going to write another time), the gambling affair, etc, which are matters of a second-rate importance. Oh, I know that the 'fourth power' makes its own rules but why do people agree for that? Why people, having such a powerfull device like the Internet use it for such trivial purposes as they do? Why they do not care about their governments performing immoral and inhuman deeds to other nations?

"Well, there's nothing WE can do" - will say most of us. Maybe I'm an idealist, but I believe that something has to be done. And I prefer do be called a driver rather than an idealist, according to a very wise joke (I'll write it here, as if may be not known: a pessimist, an optimist and a realist are standing on rails. The pessimist sees a dark tunnel. The optimist sees a light in the tunnel. The realist sees a train coming and a driver sees three idiots on the rails).

So I exhort: let's be the drivers and drive the world into more human, peacful direction! Let's put into everyday discussion really important issuses, let's get engaged and don't waste our time putting our photos in the next new dress with the next new boyfriend on "Nasza klasa"! Let's stop pouring out our anger on respected people who've made mistakes in their past and let's start asking question: why? Why this world is getting so unhuman and unsocial, when the newest technologies should give the exactly opposite effect?
For your consideration.
