Don't expect "our elected officials" (otherwise known as the corporate toadies) to change anything either - they'll keep fracking in drought affected areas, lay-off and outsource good jobs to third-world countries (and others where they can pollute to high heaven with no regard for anything beyond their profits), insist on austerity for most of us while they enjoy themselves, and on and on. We're on our way out.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-64095481009739940372014-02-19T17:26:55.242-05:002014-02-19T17:26:55.242-05:00Interesting that the only way hope works is when i...Interesting that the only way hope works is when it's coupled with ruthless adherence to laws -- in this case the laws of thermodynamics. But the only hope humans have is in adhering to eco-totalitarianism - and that is so repugnant to people that they would rather die than change behavior, so be it , easily arranged. We are a species that has made colossal changes in some ways, and blundering intransigence in other ways. Change or die. Rather, it is "decide to change, then change - because if you delay then it does not matter what you decide." <br /><br />As Bill Nye just said this weekend, (I cannot believe he has hatched the best slogan for our times) He said we must "change everything, all at once"<br /><br />Ferociously interesting times. rpaulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016149709193595632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-28144250811903812382014-02-18T07:22:06.661-05:002014-02-18T07:22:06.661-05:00Wendy:

Just wait til there's not enough food being grown to feed even U.S. citizens (maybe this year with the CA drought) and you'll see complete mayhem. Like many of the Middle Eastern countries, people here are giving up on elections (since they're rigged by big moneyed interests and don't affect any change in business as usual) and will just give up on politicians and the whole bogus "political process." In a country awash in guns, when the people get fed up enough, all hell may break loose. Besides the food issue, there are so many other factors barely holding "civilization" together with duct tape and baling wire (like our fiat currency, the global economy, disease outbreaks for which we're completely unprepared, war, scarce resources like water, crumbling infrastructure and electrical grid, abusive police, and on and on) strained to the breaking point, that it's just a matter of time before the big step off the cliff happens.
