...still small enough
to get our arms around...
To be truly radical is to make hope possible, rather than despair convincing.” ~ Raymond Williams
Small is beautiful, when small is skilled and dedicated... There is so much artificial and plastic crap around, the human spirit yearns for the homespun and the real. ~Gene Logsdon→
I've observed that people tend to live at one of two extremes in the spectrum of life: those who live on the edge, and those who avoid the edge. Those who live on the edge are hanging out in the most dangerous and unstable places — yet they're also often the most powerful agents of change, because the edge is where change is happening; away from the edge, things are naturally unchanging. ~Thom Hartmann
What is not worth doing, is not worth doing well. ~Abraham Maslow→
Society is like a stew: If you don't stir it up every now and then, the scum rises to the top.~Edward Abbey
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~Buckminster Fuller→
We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.~Herman Melville
Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. ~Wendell Berry→ -

Never has a worl wide economic and industrial system so in need of being swept away by common sense and decency. If it is just allowed to run itself down the current mass extinction will engulf us. It is a stark choice. Give up on the insanity of dominator culture and the depraved industrial system the produces war and general destruction. I am still hoping some minor nuclear powers decide to send their primitive weapons into low Earth orbit and set them off to destroy the digital and satellite infrastructure.
I watched this presentation alone and then with my wife. I wish everyone on earth would watch this until they thoroughly understand all that it contains, and I wish this information would immediately become the foundational data for initiating immediate and radical action at all levels of government and society to try to save the planet. Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely to happen and the end, as they say, is near.
