As an earnest skulker and learner of this newsgroup, I must say, I'm really too through with the in fighting. As much as I have enjoyed the past couple of years, I'm close to unsubscribing. This hurts too much. I do what can. Gave up my car entirely, moved back into the city. I do all of my errands on foot. My apt. is much smaller, energy efficient and I now spend paying for all just slightly more than I paid for just electricity. I take out one little grocery bag a week of garbage. I'm conscious! If this were multiplied by millions, the effect would be corporate. My job in this life is to do what I'm aware of at the time, protest for and against what I believe in (we should certainly reinstate the draft, for instance). But as I sit here consciously making choices, a Cornell grad, like many of you, I view some of this through different lenses. I was a Social Worker before I became disabled w/ a chronic pain condition. Spent my life working with those in need. I live well below the poverty level. I do fine. But my priorities are probably quite different materially than the average poor person culturally. But this high toned affluent, white tower talk, going on and on for weeks is really enough. It's the height of arrogance. Can we please find something to agree on or argue via private email. Way too much drama for this simple steward. With the best intentions, Ara
