36. It's a depressing post. I would have wanted to see Many Here posting about "Earth Day"

But, I noticed a lack of posts leading up to and today, here.

It's easy to bog down in cynicism...Or...rather...its "practical" given what's going on to bog down into cynicism.

But...while this post reflects what we see... What IF we did better? WHY did WE Allow "Earth Day" to become a "footnote" out here on the Blogosphere.

There's much going on out there but if one posts about it ....no one here cares. It's not Dead unless people forget...and people have not forgotten...except on the sites that used to triumph "Earth Day" who are now in their declining days...if we don't stand up and re-invigorate all of it ...instead of getting bogged down in the Political Wars.

Anyway...
