The four year crisis of disappearing honeybees is deepening.  A recent federal study shows that there was a heavy bee die-off this winter.

 A huge percentage of our world needs bees to survive. We can’t just say "who cares about the bees?" because bees are such an important part of life. There is an entire eco system and food chain that is interconnected - if we change one thing it affects the whole system.

It seems to be a hard time for people in general, but there are other issues and problems that are effecting our world.  The UN estimates that 96 million women are missing in Asia, with the vast majority in China and India. Female infanticide and sex selective abortion has caused a severe gender imbalance to the tune of around 96 million missing women.

Just being aware that there are problems beyond us and our world tells us how much work we have to do.  That’s unbelievable, 96 million women.

According to Sports Illustrated, 80% of NFL players are flirting with bankruptcy two years after they retire. Two years.  

Scottie Pipped lost $120 million in career earnings due to poor financial planning and bad business ideas. Latrell Sprewell $96 million. John Daly $50 to $60 million.  And Mike Tyson..$400 million.

We are our decisions. We have to know they have long term effects.
