Re: SC13

Hello Jobe, I continue to enjoy fully the many wonderful experiences, I have had, and continue to have, with many of these times spent in the splendor of Mother Natures beauty, inspirational moments I appreciate greatly. My Wizard's pictures site is my way of expressing my love of these things, to show and share with others. On the other hand, there are very serious events unfolding, which will affect our lives, and much more so, the lives of our children. My SC threads are my way of expressing the extent of these coming dire challenges that will face humanity, all too soon. My interest in this endeavor of information sharing on these consequential subjects is that perhaps, the cumulative effort of my small contribution, and that of all the other countless people around the world trying to get the truth out about these things, might possibly provide some measure of positive benifit, in some form. You can't respond effectively to something you are not even aware of. Our US culture, along with the other societies of this world will face incalculable change, if they do not alter thier path of rampant consumption of finite resources, massive environmental degredation, and production of mind boggling levels of greenhouse gases that will drastically change the relatively mild weather, that has allowed us to proliferate. We shall see how the world's people cope with whats coming. Our response must represent an adjustment, of such a large scale, that it is easy to imagine that much of the world's people, will merely fall into the abyss of starvation, social unrest, war for remaning resources, and overall huge mental challenges so daunting, that they will wither the mind, from the pressures of these changes. If things somehow turn out to be better, thats fine with me, I will always hope for this :-) Regarding Burning Man tickets, they went on sale in January. Just go online to burningman.com and find the tickets link. They are probably up to 225 or 250 by now.
