Illustrations Friday: Fragile

I was curious about this word, fragile, and thought what could I possible draw/paint. A word like this is hard to illustrate. At least it's hard for me to illustrate this. Then I started to read today's news and I started to feel really sad because there are plans at this moment to allow drilling for oil in the last protected areas for
  • wildlife. It's amazing how fragile this bit of animal refuge is and how we are ready to go there and destroy it for a little bit of oil. This week has been full of realizations of how fragile life is and the amazing ability to hurt the people who need help the most. Here is my submissions for this week's submission:

    It's also interesting how, if you ask pretty much anyone, they will say there's no reason to do the drilling. Every person out there knows this is wrong. The only reason people are doing this is for greed and lies. How can we trust someone who told us there were WMD's, killed 1,500 American soldiers, injured at least 50,000 soldiers, killed over 100,000 men, women and children for lies... Am I angry and upset? Yes. And a lot more people should be too. Now, these same people want to invade protected areas of wildlife. For what? For oil? I don't know. I thought some things were sacred. But if we are willing to rape our own soil and people for lies...that's wrong.

    Many people will try to justify actions but in the end you have nothing. What happens when the oil in Alaska dries up? I'd like to know what happens then? Do we start more wars?

    Here's a novel idea. Let's get on the high road. Let's start industry with a huge environmental edge. Let's become the biggest producers of cars that are electric or half electric and oil. Let's create and support these industries.

    Is this possible? Of course it is. If we can go do space travel, we can do anything. There are nay sayers but look at what they are hiding from you. We need to look past the sheep skin.
