I know there have been complaints since Spoutible's inception, about how there seems to be "too much" political content. I was thinking about this sitting on the beach, realizing just how much the world has changed since I was a kid. Half the problems we have now were things I never anticipated.

The idea that right now, the atmosphere and the ocean are absorbing more heat, that is driving worse droughts, worse storms, more damaging tornadoes and hurricanes, is not something I would have contemplated. It seem otherworldly to think this is all happening NOW and we've little impetus to fix it.

If there seems to be a lot of political content, it's because right now we are on the brink of plunging headlong into being the instruments of our destruction, and many of us DON'T LIKE THAT IDEA. The number of people who seem resigned or ACTIVELY SUPPORT THE STATUS QUO is infuriating.

To suffer in silence is no option. To hope you can convince others to see their folly is foolhardy. We're all so locked into our own particular view of the universe, that many of simply WILL watch the world burn, even as the rest of us try to stop it. I don't know. It's just food for thought.
