What Makes People Tick?

Found this quote in March, wrote a draft post for it yet didn´t end up actually writing anything more. It´s from the article "It´s time for a nuclear energy time-out" by Alice Slater, published 23.03.11. See the link below the post for the source. Let this chaos be a wake-up call for a time-out on new nuclear energy construction projects. This includes the 62 reactors around the world now under construction and the additional 158 slated to go forward. And like the massive mobilization gathering strength in Japan, with emergency workers coming from all over the world to help rescue and recover the tens of thousands of people trapped in their villages, let us make a massive global effort to put a solar panel on every roof, a geothermal pump in every building, windmills on every windswept plain, and tidal energy pumps in our rivers and seas to harness the clean safe energy of our Mother Earth. http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/03/23-4

Reading the article that my last post is about, I started wondering once again what it would be like to visit some of the amazing places on our planet and in our universe. The universe, well, I´m not anticipating a visit to the Moon in my lifetime or the ability to see the Earth from space with my own eyes, however there are many places on this planet that are amazing all in their own right. Places that I can get to by bus, train and airplane. For some amazing places, check out my earlier post on Unesco World Heritage Sites , as well as some of the following links: Wonders of the World - Wikipedia page Hillman Wonders of the World  - a Top 100 list Seven Wonders of the World - Travel Channel 100 Wonders of the World - a map with locations of wonders across the world

Found an amazing article online at the website of the Daily Mail that has me reeling with wonder. I reckon it fits right in at a blog entitled "what makes people tick", as it sheds an amazing amount of light on what made humans tick - long before they even learnt how to write!
