142. The only solutions I can control are my own.

We all have our own dreams. Our own meaning of what it means to live a "good life".
For me, making the world better because of my existence always seemed like a decent objective.
Now, I'm just hoping I don't make it much worse.
I don't know what the answer is. I just know that if one wants to stand against something, not standing with it is a good start.
And siding with GE and BP would blow my objective out of the water.

In my perfect world we'd be using the economic might of the USA to lift all boats. Instead of weakening regulations in foreign countries we would be making them rise to ours in order to do business with us.
Instead of drilling and fracking as much as we can, we would take an orderly and reasoned approach to getting the most bang for the buck, so to speak, with the least amount of waste as possible.
We would consider the impacts of every action generations into the future. And then we would move forward.

These are pipe dreams of course. It is all over. If we had better education, if we had people who truly loved wilderness and animal life, if we had people who couldn't sleep if others couldn't eat, if we could do it all over, I hope we would do it better.

I doubt it.
