When reality creeps in, we’re often left flaccid, feeling kinda small, as we piss in the wind.<BR/><BR/>Over the past eight years Dubya has made a great whipping boy. Will we continue to whip a dead horse (or in this case, a lame ass), or are we truly looking for accountability? If so, we need to acknowledge the fingers pointing back as we seek to point the finger of blame. Real change is only brought about by individual change. The problems we now face are self-inflicted. We live on a planet that can only sustain about 3 billion souls. We now surpass that by nearly 4 billion. Compounded by our excesses, our very existence is threatened. This reality makes all other issues pale in contrast. Our government believes that all we need is more paper and ink to solve our problems. Then there are the delusional, who believe this is all preordained, and our only salvation is prayer. As our climate heats up humanity will continue on its merry way, exacerbating our problems. At some point we will arrive at our final destination and be faced with the reality that we are a species that eats its young, as they are consumed as a consequence of our self-serving nature and our insatiable appetite for things.Jim Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073070532052770537noreply@blogger.com
