I'm taking world events less seriously, so far
The people around me at work are on a downer but i feel like, i've seen the big picture and its scary and i'm up for taking it on. but they keep getting a drip feed of worse news and bad shit that seems to be affecting them worse. admittedly have freaked out a few times,

I'm coping okay I guess.

I am going through what I'd describe as 'mourning the future'. I have two children, 3 and 1.5 years old. I fear for thier future more than anything.

Since (in my opinion) confirming peak oil, I have been obsessive about learning everything I can about it. From geologists reports to flipant tabloid articles. I am soaking up everything I can concievably read on the subject.

I feel like I have developed a personality split. One that maintains the present tragectory and one that quivers with fear of the future.

Until I sell our house, move back to the country and do something more meaningful about a sustainable future I'm going to feel very uncomfortable.

the future isn't yet decided. who knows what collectively we might be able to achieve in the face of a crisis. i'm staying put here in the city, but i think my job is to protest the hell out of any politician who is too ignorant or mechanised to inspire that. the big protest is still to come

')Sorry folks, but they are sheeple. They are reality tv watching, cell phone yacking, totally clueless, lets go shopping, economists say everything will be fine, sheeple.
They are McMansions buying, SUV driving, debt ridden, clueless idiots.
They are wasteful, shamefully wasteful, Swiffer wet mop wasteful scum. They mock our only sensible president as the "cardigan doctrine" president.
They are cynical, smart ass sarcastic morons., and I wash my hands of them.
