Strange Eyes
Strange eyes, early Picassos
TheY follow me in all my dreams
Strange eyes, to little star charts
plunges knives into my poor heart
As lovely as a tree they endlessly recede
Strange eyes, two little whirlpools
made by God to destroy fools
two pearls of inf’nite cost
two paradises lost
They swallow me in all my dreams
Oh God I’m still in love with you
>MAGNETIC FIELDS>STRANGE EYES
On my mind
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The soul’s escaping, through this hole that it’s gaping
This world is mine for the taking

Summary of the report form the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC site
Good news is that Consumers in developing countries feel more responsible for environmental problems than those in developed countries.People in developing countries are more likely to:
- Live in smaller residences
- Prefer green products and own relatively few appliances or expensive electronic devices
- Walk, cycle, or use public transportation, and choose to live close to their most common destination
By contrast, consumers in developed countries, who have more environmentally friendly options to choose from, often don’t make those choices.
- They have larger homes and are more likely to have air-conditioning.
- They generally own more cars, drive alone most frequently and use public transport infrequently.
- They are least likely to buy environmentally friendly products and to avoid environmentally unfriendly products.
U.S. consumers scored worse than those in any other country, developing or developed, on housing, transportation and goods. They are by far the least likely to use public transportation, to walk or bike to their destinations or to eat locally grown foods. They have among the largest average residence size in the survey. Only 15 percent say they minimize their use of fresh water.
