    I first want to appologize, one for the length of this post, and two for the length of my other posts. I really like to type. It's as easy for as speaking, easier in some ways. I get the whole spiel (had to look that oune up) out before I see the look of boredom.

    For many months now I have been fighting for awareness. It has been a reletivly small battle, waged with friends and family, and the few strangers I find open minded or educated enough to understand. I count a good deal of you in the second catagory, and all but a few of you in the third.

    A very few have been open to what I have to say, in spite of complete agreeance from everyone in the field (from both sides, conservative, liberal, and those completely neutral). The only people who disagree are those who aren't in the loop.

    Not only do they disagree but many catagoricaly deny all implications. Not really the fact itself (it is very not possible to deny) but they won't believe that it will cause anything truly bad. They come up with excuses, mostly childish things, mixed with the little science they pick up from half listened to 2020 specials and mostly understood newspapaer articles.

    There were two real straws that broke me. One was here on the forums, and one was a teacher I really respect. Both fell mostly in the second catagory. Most people here know what problem I'm talking about but it really doesn't matter at this point.

    I'm done. I am no longer going to try to help anyone see... well anything. If we can all pretend something isn't happening, that something will not effect us. That the government, or big buisinesses, or (not very often heard) God, will just save us, no effort on our part, then I am done. I hope you all know enough about farming to not starve. I truly hope that. I hope you see the possibilities of war before you are caught up in it.

    Ok, just had to get that off my chest.

    Well thats good,

    if you give up on something you say you were so deticated too, so easy. Then perhaps you were not as deticated as you thought you were.

    Some people have the ability to make change, most don't.

    Sad really.

    I was dedicated to making the future someplace I wanted to live. I thought that was going to found in saving people who could help build it anew. But now I have been reminded (thank you for your very small part in that whispers) that people are not capable of seeing the hardness of most reality.

    Now, I know that this is exactly the thing we need. Let those who will not wake up starve, or be drafted. Good luck to you all. If anyone wants to know about it, please ask, I will be glad to tell you everything I know. But, for those of you who don't care enough to read a little deeper (looks at whisper) than what the US department of energy says, well I really hope you starve to death. In the end I hope you end up eating the ones you love.

    Yes I am filled with anger. Anger at apathy, and at hypocrisy, at ignorance, and most of all at people uncanny ability to throw up a Sombody Elses Problem field any time they want, and make all the bad things go away. Yes I am angry with myself most of all.

    I dig what your saying man, what I think you need is a few more people on your side...I'd be there with ya but I'm stuck in minnesota but I think our hearts and minds are in relatively the same state. I really hope you don't give up as the world is in dire need of change (although some believe it will come in the form of a shift in consciousness in a few years) and I hope your anger subsides as nothing good ever results from anger I believe patience and compassion is key.....Ram Dass wrote in a book that to share your thoughts and ideals like that on somebody who responds negatively bestows that negativity in your heart and you carry it with you.....(it was something on those lines, he said it a bit differently) so I'd suggest find some open minded people willing to listen, get a few more on your side so you have strength in numbers, people are sheep, they go where the crowd is going, get the crowd and the people will follow....
