urgency & philosophy

[edwschreiber at earthlink.net]

We have got to come to terms with the situation in the world.
We have to pull together if we can to create something that can address this.
I cannot ignore the reality of what is taking place.  How can we allow 100s of 
species to die daily?  As Jensen writes, a granade is rolling across the floor,
it won't go away.  I work hours to find a way to apply sociatry.  I want to have
others to discuss this with on this forum.  It reminds me of what my great-grandfather
did in Europe.  Ed
