Imagine a life without fear. Imagine a life where you wake up every morning and you truly feel refreshed. Imagine a day from morning until evening when you'd say, "this was the happiest day of my life". Then you do it again after endless day again.
If you can't or you say you would like to, then something isn't right. It is the way life was meant to be enjoyed. It is the way I live my life. I don't think it's anything special.

Mariss,
What a beautiful philosophy! I'm in awe of you both for your outlook on life and your technical expertise. I own 9 of your drives in current and planned machines and they have proved flawless.
I'm certainly not a fear monger, but I do think caution is prudent. Until we know for sure what is happening it would be best to proceed to develop some solutions since many of the solutions are things we should be doing anyway. As I said previously, we're going to be 8 years behind the curve and I'm sure a lot more misdirections until we get a change of administration.
Nobody talks much about the root cause of the problems; over population. I suppose it's not politically correct. I think only the Chinese have taken any substantive steps in this direction. If global warming is real, it may well solve the problem of overpopulation. If it isn't, then we'll still have a planet with too many people on it and that will bring plenty of other problems. We've definitely got to develop a strategy that doesn't involve junk science or quixotic solutions. This is going to require intelligent & visionary leadership. Think Hillery!

BTW; I don't think you're quite on the mark when you say the women's movement has culminated. Legislatively perhaps but not in attitude of the populacewise.
