Although I know the facts regarding the future and they ain't pretty, I prefer to dwell in the hopeful possibilities that surround us. We have many of the answers available to our culture through technology, science and a willingness to accept a slower, healthier world at the expense of our luxurious and convenient lifestyles. It's a hard sell, but many of us are starting to get it and realize the many personal and worldly benefits of "going back to the future." This is a difficult time, but if we face it with excitement for change and with determination, I believe we can make it work! Tao Thanks for your comments.

I and many of friends feel the same. There are too many people, and the world is quite out of balance. Some people do not want to raise children because society has become too materialized and competitive. Greg Very well written. I and many of friends feel the same.
