		<description>Great to have you back, M. Douglas.  

There is a quote from someone named Edmund Burke, Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.  This is what made the difference for me.  </description>

		<description>Basically they're LYING. Mostly to -themselves- but to all of us as well.

It's endlessly horrifying to me how 'educated' people can lie to themselves with such ease.

As for the dinosaurs fading away, the sad fact is they BREED and there are always more stupid/willful fools to replace them.

I think -awareness- of environmental problems has increased but the  -will- to DO something hasn't. Not because good people aren't trying - they are - but because ruthless self-interest and profiteering have thwarted them at almost every turn.

Either we create a real, viable third party that has no thrall to the corporate interests or we resign ourselves to the endless downward spiral and eventual environmental disaster. Both of the current political parties do as they're told, which is to protect corporate profits.</description>
