and, where, pray, is that?

the insidious effects of globalisation hang like damocles' sword over those few regions not already robbed blind and reduced to economic serfdom, injustice waits round every corner, and to try to outrun the beast is futile...we have to work within its belly and take our chances.

we can bust our butts putting together fancy solar arrays that are part of the solution, i believe, (obviously), but some thug sees copper tubes and thinks about what he can get for them down at the scrapyard, and then how would i replace them?

it's all futile at the end of the day, but it's fun trying to use every neuron available to try to see a way through this tangle we've allowed our species to become embroiled in.

we are pretty adaptable, but i think what's coming will test the hardiest and most flexible beyond our wildest imaginations...

or not!

maybe we'll transition effortlessly and have a smooth landing....

right...

go kiwi, baby!

or Yakushima Island has plenty of rain water and food, and warm, temperate climate.  Incovenient for copper thieves to get to.  And lots of natural hot springs!

and I heard Iceland has hot springs, too.

we are pretty adaptable, but i think what's coming will test the hardiest and most flexible beyond our wildest imaginations...

well, humans may be due for a little darwinistic paring down anyway.  the surviving population will be called Homo sapiens neoliber.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
