Thank’s for those comments and that link up there.  Remember I’m reading this against the backdrop of watching Republicans in action raping the heck out of reality, law  and civility while royally screwing our future beyond what any of us could have imagined even a decade ago. – and it’s all so normalized.

I guess I think people way underestimate the magnitude of the destabilizing cascading consequences being kicked into high gear these days and lordie lord this next year worth of campaigning that’s going to be more controlled by the highest bidder and AI algorithms based on data mining.  And the sheep keep munching on the grass.

In the end we have lots of good reasons for talking past them.  But, I keep wondering why can’t we just keep pounding them with their disconnect from reality and in the process help us ourselves better understand what’s happening.  I mean this isn’t academic, this acquiesce has real world hard consequences.

But you know what’s funny, every time I go off on those flights of fancy, it’s like: “Petie, seriously???, you really want people in general to ‘appreciating what we have done and the consequences speeding our way?” – well okay, guess I don’t* – probably best just do keep on keeping on, no worries and when the hammer falls for our little corner of the world that’s that – same as it ever was, adapt and preserver, or not.

Of course, excepting this time, there won’t be any more pristine landscapes to run off and discover.  We’ve arrived at the end of the road.  So sad, so stupid, so self-absorbed, when all we needed was to recognize this planet that actually and truly can be described as Our Mother Earth.  I believe the rest would have flowed from that, living in harmony with the laws and rhythms, the ways and means, of this living planet Earth.

But instead we laughed it off and consumed it fast as possible..

* but that doesn’t mean I can stop struggling with it.  Xian has his emptiness, i got wrapping my mind around our willful self destruction.  I always knew civility was going to be in trouble when things started getting tougher, but I never imagined things would disintegrate they way the have the past few years.   Watching those Republicans on that committee was a terrifying experience – they are so far gone.       and they’re just getting going with their frothing angry rejection of facts and reality in favor of their unachievable pipe-dream that will only bring more heartache and destruction to our country and the world.  –  and  more rational humanistic minds are simply impotent against base scared instinctive reaction.
