Waxing a bit [View all]

Ok, I have to wax a bit. I've been saying for years that young people need to step up politically and socially; and now they are, finally, in a good, big way! It's young people mostly behind the BLM protests; and young people have finally turned on Trump and the Reeps in an amazingly strong and clever way, thank god!

Our survival as a species, and the recovery of a very damaged ecosystem, is at stake here, not just the socio-political dynamic. I just hope it's not too late. I also want to see young Greta Thunberg's activism break out again in a really big movement for climate recovery as well! I'm starting to love this world again.
