For The First Time In A Long Time I Now Have A Little Hope [View all]

I was working in my yard this afternoon on a nice sunny day in Seattle, and some dude walking by saw my Bernie sign and gave me a thumbs up. He stopped to talk for a minute and I found myself saying something I have been thinking about and talking about for the last month.

I told dude that every single thing related to our planet has been going to shit for a while now. Because of the energy I see at some of the rallys, and the conversations now going on, I have found new hope. From watching the climate collapsing, to seeing economic disparity I had really felt hopeless for quite some time. I guess this feeling of hopelessness is what happens when you begin to grasp the impact of climate change, and other things. The valley where I grew up the whole stinking area burned the last two summers.

I haven't thought our world could possibly turn around for a long time. Just look at Crazytown. (the Republicans)

I now have at least a little tiny bit of hope for the future.

At least that's a start.
