Paul, this is well written and organized, some good info. The thing is, you write as if you are trying to convince people of the coming apocalypse - but most of us who are sentient know things are either dire or over. I'd like to see you, and any others who feel the need to sound the alarm, to turn your (our) talents to trying to figure out what the hell we can do about any of it? We are like sitting here watching a train barreling down on a loaded school bus stuck on the tracks and we are just frozen.
