A lot of sobering information. As someone who struggles daily with the many seeming insanities of his world, I found the article by Carolyn Baker (Under 'Taking Action in the Face of Collapse) brought up many 'dark' emotions. However, ultimately this following paragraph expressed that which is truly important as humanity struggles with all of it's, sometimes, seemingly overwhelming challenges: 'One of my favorite mantras is a quote from Derrick Jensen: "We're fucked, and life is really, really good." Amid the dismal we need fun, joy, play, lightness of heart, art, music, poetry, songs, stories, and creativity of infinite varieties. Yes, I know, it's a tremendous challenge holding such opposite emotions in the same body, but that is our work in the face of the end of the world as we have known it. Recall the words of Morpheus in "The Matrix": "I didn't say it would be easy, I just said it would be the truth." Ta' for all yer good work ian Hey Lis…
