Good morning all! Steven, I never heard of that book, but the same message in a perhaps different way that affected me profoundly at that time (early seventies) was Diet for A Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappe (who is still doing her work, and well!). It opened my eyes to worldwide agricultural practices and how they affect the earth and all of us. I was sure people would get it and, well, we could have been in a very different place right now if they had. On my morning walk at 6:30 this morning (a must for basic sanity), with two happy dogs, I was thinking of the Zero Population movement around 1970 as well....and how now the radicals who are making horrendous decisions have the opposite, nosensical approach: increase the birth rate. What?! Still, and all....onward, solidarity, optimism! Make sure you all take care of yourselves. We do have work to do.

Yes, but. We need to talk. We MUST vote. Sometimes we need to protest. But all are fatal distractions if we don’t address the root causes NOW.
