The hardest thing to accept is that we could have done many things a long time ago. Instead, about half of voters have continued to think we need to let companies control more, monopolize, pollute, keep the EPA toothless, oppress new technologies. And while Johnsons great society has been dismantled and the liberal press became conservative, all you hear are 30 year old myths repeated by conservatives that have no basis in reality. And it is my generation. The one that came of age with peace and love. Maybe we thought technology would solve the problems. I would argue that it takes a huge effort to counter the daily messages we hear by advertisers. I don’t understand people that say advertising doesn’t work. It is very effective at getting us to consume and create waste. That model must change but people go by electric cars that require coal generated power. Instead of going to Mars, we need to get to the point of generating all of our power from solar and wind. And to do that, we need a government that can tell the vested interests that their days are over. FU coal, oil, poison chemicals. You can go back to school and learn a new trade.
