Paula - you are right (I'm sorry)! We need to stop touting a 'we're f***'ed' attitude (as I have often done). Why? Because - at the risk of sounding New Agey - the power of what we feel and say should never be underestimated. I'm actually getting pretty peeved with people I hear going on about how war with Iran or a World War III is inevitable for example. Isn't it obvious that the true Warmongers would love to see a populace that is accustomed to the idea of a huge war!? If we live in fear then we are easier to control and to destroy - it's that simple.

What's needed is to behave and feel and exist as though this world must be sustainable and as though this is all there is. It's fine to believe in other dimensions, or to be a misanthropist, or to want an 'end' - but how many people can honestly say they are true nihilists? No new humans, but yes to sustainabilty, to fighting opression, to micro and macro resistance and to fun, creativity and imagination!
