I just took a break. Drove around the US east coast, saw friends and family and recalibrated myself a little bit. Now I'm going with the nuclear option. I've been inhibited from saying it, but the biggest problem humanity has right now is the lack of a shared belief system.
Civilizations start with belief systems. The religious people are right in so far as social unity is much easier when everybody accepts the same fundamental beliefs.

It's time to start the political campaign. Vote for the Garden Party! We want ecological prosperity.
