Is there a revolution of minds going on right now? I think there is - but many people seem dissatisfied with the state of things. I know things are bad, but it's got to say something that so many people are fighting and trying to show they care. Do you think this is going on, that more and more people are becoming 'educated' and capable of coping with lifes challenges and going forward to improve life for all - or not..

And if people deny this, do you think it's out of fear - or out of genuine reason to believe that we're just, all doomed and there's no point hoping or trying.

Was just interested to hear some thoughts, an example of all these documentaries and figures coming out saying basically the same sorts of things - even famous bands like muse and enter shakari - it seems like there are a lot of sparks right now.

I think there is, and has been. Your focus has been ahead of the curve (at least from what I've read from you here). I used to beat myself up for bringing another person to this planet, to deal with the deterioration. I'm not convinced now, however, that we'll Never get our stuff together. It's really hard to imagine humans on this planet thinking planetarily, when (at least in my country) we can't even think Nationally anymore. But it is possible (even if it isn't probable).

Again, keep up the good work. I appreciate your effort, and for keeping me thinking outside the box. Kudos!

Well I think if you aren't aware of it it's simply because information is largely controlled by the 'ruling class'. What little I can do .. I do. It's amazing what one person can achieve really - I've oganized a film screening with 600 seats, marketed it all myself, learnt all the relevant material myself.

I think we're afraid of our own power yaknow?

And thanks Terrific

I'd certainly like to believe there is! Sadly, because of the media, I think it's easier for people to focus on the negative.... it's why I don't bother watching the news. It's primarily bad news that gets shoved down our throats, on the daily.

And on the subject of FEAR.... I absolutely believe it is fear that holds so many people back. Fear of change, fear of the unknown. And unfortunately, fear of rejection and judgment.

Good on you, PO :) You iz coolio!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
