~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

[sumisu]

No doubt our "progress" has turned into "regress." Reality TV has separated many from the library. Reading the classics has been replaced by reading gossip on the Internet. Commitment to achievement principles has been dwarfed by an entitlement fervor. The survival skills base of two generations ago has been replaced by dependency on office jobs. Alas we are about to enter an age of reckoning. The seemingly strong dollar will soon be undermined by overwhelming debt; the poisoning of the environment will result in irreversible food availability; and eventually the great oil fields which allowed all of our growth to occur will take us back to the 19th century in our approach to surviving. When driving a car and living our lives, it is important to look forward and not constantly in the rear-view mirror.
