relations
i'm wondering if the current economic woes and denial about any human impact on the planet are related. i explain. at the root of the financial meltdown we have people's inability to accurately evaluate the sum total of all those little fees and interest charges over the course of many years. they're tiny. hardly nothing. but over time they add up. in aggregate they make the difference between financial security and financial ruin. in aesop fable terms the ants saved all summer and got through the harsh winter. whereas the grasshopper sang and played and didn't. in terms of the planet, most of what humans do is pretty negligible. however, just like the credit card fees, it adds up. and over several lifetimes has become quite significant. anywho. just thinking.
