HEIGHTENED AWARENESS SYNDROME
I stand ready to defend this unpopular position because I have hope for the future. Please let me explain. Anyone who can fog a mirror realizes we are on an unsustainable path of UNNECESSARY consumption. Let me be clear here, I to, love to consume, it is the unnecessary part I hope to take a look at.
Albert Einstein said "We will not solve problems at the same intellectual level that we created them". (Well that is close and the meaning is the same). Coupling that with my belief that beating the dead horse of blame just spatters STUFF all over the place and doesn't add to a positive outcome I think we have a starting point to solve a very large and indisputable challenge.
Being a Grandpa, I have realized the wisdom of the saying "Don't rob the young of their consequences-their is wisdom to be had in those consequences". Well we are the young in the history of this planet and if we choose to learn this lesson now, that wisdom will pay huge benefits for very long periods of time.
Let me wrap up my humble attempt at logic here.
As we pay more and more for the basic commodity of Fuel it will HEIGHTEN OUR AWARENESS of limited natural resources and we will then evolve our thinking to that higher level to meet this challenge.
I promise that we will look back in ten or twenty years and realize that it wasn't near as hard as it seemed to be way back in 2008.
