Thank you for the splash of ice-cold water in our faces to awaken us from our collective delusions. You are absolutely right about this. But venting our outrage, however justified, does not help much in coping with our plight.

It might be nice if, like wildlife managers, we could "cull" overgrown herds to keep them from exceeding their carrying capacity, but such thinking among fellow humans leads only to the worst kinds of genocidal fascism (for the benefit, as always, of the super-rich perpetrators of this feeding frenzy on the planet.)

A better option is to start where we are--in our own backyards and neighborhoods--learning how to grow our own food, make and repair our own stuff wherever possible, collaborate with our immediate neighbors, learn, teach, heal, and create--and thereby grow seeds of regeneration in a dying world. As I often like to say, "Glomart is dying--long live Gaia!"
