I have repeatedly seen concentrated readership in your nation. Compared to more populous nations, perhaps your readership numbers are small, but for a smaller nation, there seems to be concentrated interest on the part of Germans. I am sure that many of our issues, political concerns and cultural biases are similar, but it would be good to know if you have certain issues that seem to draw you to my posts, or if there is another reason you find my work worthy of your time, please, let me know. Sometimes comments can be better than the articles that spawned them. It helps me to get to know my audience as well. It would mean a lot to me as an author to hear your responses to many of my works. One, that specifically comes to mind is "Bird Doggin' It" from November13, 2015 or "Strange Days Indeed" from Winter Solstice that same year...
There is no representation in my nation's government for the majority who rely on and use science-based decision-making. If there is a way for an individual person to apologize for their nation's leaders, let me take it! Lord and Lady both know that there is no end to the intolerable behavior that results from letting the oligarchs buy our candidates. The massive groundswell that got behind Bernie Sanders will not be silenced and none of us are going away. The outrage that got our current train wreck of a leader into power has overwhelmed our ability to contain it. The jig is up as they say for the "business as usual" crowd. Writing is on the wall in nearly every language. Fossil energy is dead. The outstanding loans that built the frack fields will never be repaid. Just like the housing boom before it, the build has been artificial and as oil continues to bust, there just is no way to get people back into their cars.
I have personally designed a lifestyle that requires me to only be in a car occasionally and I would never want to go back to spending more time burning fossil energy. Massive savings can be had by leaving a car unused as well. These are reasons I get ruffled sometimes when policies are running contrary to common sense, in fact, they seem to be trending in the opposite direction. that of destruction, instability, chaos and death. Here in my state of Wisconsin, which is about the same size as the GDR (if you include half of either Lake Superior or Lake Michigan.) Our statewide limited access highway speed increased from 55 to 70 MPH (88.5 to 112.7 kph). As I see it, the folks who advocate policies like these, which with the stroke of a pen can increase highway fuel use 15% are not only not "conservatives", not only are they specifically designing ways to continue "business as usual" as long as possible. It is hard to believe that they are not aware of the reality of oil markets! More likely, these changes were brought about as a direct subsidy of the oil markets that are already "hurting". Gone are the days of oil being the most lucrative act humans could engage in. Now, it the frack fields, they pump three BTUs of energy into the ground to get five out. Subsidies all along the "production" chain, which is better thought of as a chain of destruction.
The true nature of conservation has been lost on the exploiters. I want to encourage everyone to rediscover the lost art of the give back (some call it the give-away) true conservation is about giving back more than we take. The billionaire -owned media will never admit, but the Revolution that has never been televised is going on worldwide! We all know what better would look like and more and more people are walking away from their dead end jobs, their outrageous debt, and the institutions designed to pump money into the hands of the oligarchs. The more people who learn the truth, the faster it is eroding their own private islands. The Donald can use U.S. Government resources to make himself relevant and to generate income for his failing "resort". The rest of the ruling class has far fewer options.
Blessings this fine spring day and don't forget to plant a tree!
This week I added a pin to the map. ECO-Tours of Wisconsin planted at the site of Grow It Forward, a local group spearheading community gardens in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
