It changed my health dropping TVEE altogether. My blood pressure is way down. LBN is still a great place to get news from, MUCH better then any cable news channel will ever be. Sadly, a lot of activist are no longer with us or decided not to follow us over to DU3. Their reasons are their own...but I also think the Third Way SIGs have done their best to kill activism on this site and it has worked to an extent.

This is a self fulfilling prophesy imo - we are in Earth's 5th extinction cycle and if people DON'T want to take our environment seriously, I am sure it will accommodate the next species willing to evolve WITH the planet and not against it.

I've always thought man vs. nature was a losing debate and we shall see it unfold before our very own lying eyes.
