There was a peace of a song I heard the other day Some words I heard this singer say Something in me loved the way that it sounded When he said how he wanted to stand Stand and be counted Now, sometimes I talk to myself in the early dawn Before all the fragments of my dreams are gone Things you don't know why your mind held on to Or else sometimes you know more than you want to Stand an be counted, stand on the truth Stand on your honor, stand and be counted And I wonder who that kid was standing brave and trim And I hear myself breathe and I know that I was him Defender of the poor and those who cannot speak I thought I'd be standing by the dam trying to stop the leak So concerned with matters of the heart And knowing the millenium was just about to start And knowing that somehow we could make a difference I want to stand alone in front of the world and that oncoming tank Like that Chinese boy that we all have to thank He showed us in a picture that I have mounted Excactly what it means to stand and be counted Stand And Be Counted (David Crosby / James Raymond)

Rising seas threaten 21 mega-cities By The Associated Press Sat Oct 20, 4:30 PM ET Cities around the world are facing the danger of rising seas and other disasters related to climate change. Of the 33 cities predicted to have at least 8 million people by 2015, at least 21 are highly vulnerable, says the Worldwatch Institute. They include Dhaka, Bangladesh; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Shanghai and Tianjin in China; Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt; Mumbai and Kolkata in India; Jakarta, Indonesia; Tokyo and Osaka-Kobe in Japan; Lagos, Nigeria; Karachi, Pakistan; Bangkok, Thailand, and New York and Los Angeles in the United States, according to studies by the United Nations and others. More than one-tenth of the world's population, or 643 million people, live in low-lying areas at risk from climate change, say U.S. and European experts. Most imperiled, in descending order, are China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, Egypt, the U.S., Thailand and the Philippines.
