I had a long absence on that site, I wonder if my older stuff is still around?<br />I also keep a blog here at https://brackenbridge.blogspot.com/ but be forewarned I post some pretty frivolous things, mostly whatever it pleases me to do so. I'm more of the Alfred E. Neuman school of philosophy these days... "What, me worry?".<br />Yeah, I have been guilty of posting "deeper" stuff, but I'm going on 71 now and being serious is no longer so much a priority. <br />Keep up the good work, but also have fun with it.<br /><br />Lloyd (AKA gray1)Lloyd E.

That progress is a nice thing?<br /><br />I couldn't argue with that. <br /><br />But you shouldn't ignore that we do live on a finite planet and that this "nature" ~ that is our biosphere ~ is our life support system. And considering that it is the only life support system we have, we should treat it with a bit more respect - than your silly glib comment implies.<br /><br />So EZ what is wrong with honestly evaluating how we are impacting our life-support system?citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212235251641475783.post-76730835243541178672011-02-15T11:02:21.569-07:002011-02-15T11:02:21.569-07:00coming to grips with what society has done to our ...<i>coming to grips with what society has done to our Earth's biosphere</i><br /><br />You might try getting off the paved roads, once in a while. Wander a mile or two into the forest & ponder living there, with no electronics, no metal axe or knife, no StarBucks coffee ;-) Stay overnight, forage for food & water. When you have completed this enlightening exercise, you can enlighten those of us who appreciate modern society how delightful it was to bond with Nature.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027962097401586535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212235251641475783.post-71737219477303641962010-07-04T15:19:12.449-06:002010-07-04T15:19:12.449-06:00You have summed up my feelings exactly!
