***** Dialog with PC via Email this moring. detail...

L: ***** A FB dialog with a Friend tonight - detail...  <<< be sure you have read this before proceeding

PC:  

so many thoughts here...yes, no more babies is one way to look at it but I think Life Has to play out...eons of time ...I HOPE it is headed , evolving,  to healing itself..but so far in the future and only after so much devastation...I think we are still in the downward spiral before the upward spiral times if ever there will be that uplifted time....prayers and hopes and dreams.....
What is happening to you lately? Chemo? How long in the infirmary do you think? Are you ok?  xxo

L:
Hey dear.  There will be survivors for hundreds of years.  They will be the unlucky ones.
So cruel.  Maybe 1/4 of the species will be left by that point, rapidly dying. 

My bio-sons disowned me 15 years ago or so.  That's fine.  But with all this hitting me,
including how desperately hard it is to survive in this 2014 economy and beyond, infinitely
harder than it was for us; my thoughts and priorities turn to trying to help them financially,
in the future.  Need to figure out the best time to activate social security, live on the streets,
save that, for them.  Nothing left for me, but maybe enough to be a tiny, miniscule help
to a few other struggling friends.

Last chemo treatment is this afternoon.  I'll be sick for the next week, then another 2 weeks
recovering, then back on the street.

For my remaining years, what is left is to be as much a source of Kindness and Goodness as
I can be.  Because of what we've let the uber-rich, uber-smart to do to decimate jobs - we have
too many people, including me.  But maybe there are some volunteer positions teaching kids,
reading to them.  Helping others.  I'm not optimistic.  We have way too many people, and
way too little funds.  I'm completely open to having the tattoos removed because that would
be a massive obstacle.  Don't know if that can be done, from the face, what it would cost.

I'll probably never count Pr. Obama out completely. (I have zero hope that Hillary will be able
to do anything sufficient - she totally lacks vision, and leadership -
a bureaucrat).   I know he and Kerry are working on the
most aggressive plans they can conjure, politically, to reduce ecocide.  But, they are choosing
the best possible 'political' route, and by definition, I'm virtually certain it will be too little,
too late.  Methane hydrates are not political.  Mother nature is not political.  Melting ice caps
are not political.

I think of you too, often.

I wish the few of us that seem of like mind and spirit lived in a modest community.  Too much
loneliness. Too much struggle.  I don't see how it can happen.

***** A FB dialog with a Friend tonight - detail...

It is over - wages flat the last 30 years, globalization, rampant automation of decent jobs, 400 families with 50% of the wealth, US citizens asleep; oh, and earth uninhabitable in as soon as 70 years - http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/12/climate-scientist-environment-apocalypse-human-extinction . Stop having babies.

[STOP, read the above article before you continue.] 

MR: 
i am deeply concerned about many things, as are you many of these, i think, are the same things i just want you to know that i notice your comments and that i am also concerned about how discouraged you seem to be right now wish there were something i could say or do . . . i, too, fall into despair i am working on using that as fuel to do what i can it seems you do this as well . . . despite everything, miracles still happen miracles are happening every day you are one of them sending loving energy your way

L: 
MR, your comments are kind, and from you, a serious worker, they mean a lot. I am depressed. So was Lincoln, sane, while many in his day were not. I will never know that there is zero hope, but it is my duty as a brother to assess honestly, and to speak honestly. The article speaks the truth I've been screaming for 5 years, but more current, and even bleaker with the updated science. Gandhi believed in the Truth, as do I. Miracles, when they come, come when Truth is told. 

My biggest concern, as crazy as it sounds, is that no more babies be born - it is just too cruel to bring them into the Likely Hell. 

And what Harm in speaking the Truth I did tonight in the face of our near infinite, time-killing denial? Oh, it will winnow the small list of those that listen to me, oh well. 

Personally, as of today, I expect my life is radically shifted, away from averting the inevitable now, toward:
1. Pleading that we stop having more babies until we've created a non-Hell future for them; and 
2. I'll do what I can financially to help the two bio-offspring of mine, survive the Hell of a future I've not been able to avert for them; 
and I recommend similarly to others. 

Your brother, Loving

She doesn't play to play. She plays to win. I don’t know any others besides her, Malala, Aung San... This is why the future is doomed, unless you join her. Now. (She is shy. I’ll not name and embarrass her.)
