what mothers know

Once again, the same messasge. Hasn't changed in years. What Mothers know:

Dark times ahead? Phooey, you guys. It’s the mindset that’s the limiting factor. Simple lack of imagination.
Bear with me a minute. Please.
It’s the heart that gets us places. The will to go on. It got us here. It’s the only thing that ever HAS gotten us here. Somewhere, someone in terrible pain and sorrow didn’t throw in the towel. The mother on the wagon train buried her dead child and (somehow!) got back in the wagon to carry on and take care of the others. We’re obligated to do the same, if only in her memory.
One of the first goals of propaganda is having the opposition lose heart. Hence Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity. Enough of you have already turned off the tube. Now quit buying their stuff. And if any of your companies have any money left, or any of you have anything in a 401K, pull it out of whatever stocks it's in and take it to Working Assets or Pax or the like and make sure as best you can that you’re only empowering good things. We may not have much, but there’s an awful, awful lot of us.
Much scarier than CO2 damage (which we can stop if we start NOW) is messing with genetics re crops. Nature can heal herself if you don’t mix up her innards. Let her decide when to mutate. Because we don’t control this. We don’t. So relax. You don’t have to bloom the roses or think for your liver.
Yes—by the gods, nukes are bad news. But it was the simple gift of Prometheus, fire, that lit the very air of Dresden. Machetes do very well to kill people in Africa, and nothing has ever compared to smallpox, bubonic plague, or simple diarrhea in efficacy. Put your curing work here.
People. There IS enough food to go around. It just doesn’t go around.
THAT we can change.
I keep hearing this thing about humans having lost their right to the planet, that we’re a cancer and it’s only right that we get snuffed. But isn't that playing into a variant of the crazy Armageddon mindset? We aren’t a cancer, except when we’re greedy, and that’s an impulse we can check. We have checked it in the past, ELSE WE WOULDN’T BE HERE.
We aren’t some infestation on the holy mother planet: we’re OF her, her very eyes and ears and heart. Let’s be that. Deserve that. Deserve our children, that’s what we need to do.
Now you get back up on that wagon. We have to get over the next mountain, and there's a storm coming.
Anyone bring a harmonica?
