What most people don't understand about the TPP.

39. You're right on all counts. I don't disagree.

I can think of no viable way to change the things you mentioned, though. So I fight other battles. Smaller ones. Ones where I can actually have some effect.

Way back in 1965, I decided not to have children. Believe it or not, there were people predicting all of the things that have happened and are happening, way back then. From a population that exceeds the capacity of society to support that population to climate change. People predicted all those things, even then.

So, I made that choice. I also stepped out of the mainstream of the economy and worked on a freelance basis, using my skills to pick at the edges of the economy. I got involved in politics, but only worked on issues that could be realistically changed. Those things that seemed to be inevitable, I left to others to tilt at windmills.

All those predictions appear to be coming true. Looking back, I see no way that they could have been changed. Some things could be changed, so that's what I've focused on. That's what I still focus on.

I'm in my seventies, now, just...

Those people predicting bad things in the 1960s were right. I'll keep working on the little things. That makes me happy.
