"Under the less than watchful eye of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, fracking flowback is dumped into rivers, lakes and reservoirs... Gushers of putrid, grayish water encrusted with chemical crystals flood through Wind River into nearby streams," said Jeff Ruch, executive director of PEER - Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.

We simply gave you a means to do so with possibly less bloodshed. FOR DECENCY SAKE stop your bawling, BLAME YOURSELVES, when you let others win. We handed you a democracy, a republic, whatever. YOU refuse to PAY THE PRICE to WIN.

The only Revolutionary act - refocusing our very lives on the Global Neediest, Our Immediate Family, ALL of Creation, Universal Family. 2. Stopping Ecocide, now, forcing 6%/yr co2 reduction on the table, Fee and Dividend; 1 deg C. Without a planet, no other issue matters. We stop it NOW, or NEVER. 3. 2014 Elections. A. Our best chance at 1&2 above; B. Our last chance to save US Democracy. I don’t play to play; I play to win(expecting to lose). Don’t want that? OK

This St. is 1/2 right: "Radical change will not be negotiated by governments; it can only be enforced by people." - Arundhati Roy. Nothing will be conceded to cowardly people. But the Election Process remains a tool. tic, tic, tic...

"Radical change will not be negotiated by governments; it can only be enforced by people." - Arundhati Roy

This is why we are all doomed, if we waste all our time fighting to get presidents or other representatives elected and never take the initiative to find a way to unite people aroung the push for a global shift to non-market economies.

***** From a Dear FB Sister: "Loving, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I sense a change in you that feels ominous. Again, if I am wrong please don't be angry, just CORRECT me. Do I read between the lines that you would "off yourself" to bring attention to the crisis? I have been sitting with this upsetting feeling for 2 days.... detail follows...

Dialog with a dear FB friend:

KK: Loving, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I sense a change in you that feels ominous. Again, if I am wrong please don't be angry, just CORRECT me. Do I read between the lines that you would "off yourself" to bring attention to the crisis? I have been sitting with this upsetting feeling for 2 days.

L:  Oh, sweet sister, no, no, no... nothing about 'offing myself,'  ...it wouldn't be noticed, nor have any good effect. But no, the first and last it is in my mind is your mention of it here. I'm so glad you were able to voice your concern. No, no, no, no... Nothing of the sort. I wish it could be that easy, but I've known for some time, and more clearly these last few weeks, I'd be doing anything like that... in a graveyard - we are so Dead in this culture. I am NOT to waste what life I have.

KK:  Phew! I am very glad to hear it! xo

L:
But yes, a big change. One that will persist, I suspect. Nothing is true because Einstein said it. It is true because it is True. Same with Jesus, or anyone. This pic, right, is a mashup of two things he may have said, but for the first time so clearly, because of experiences I've had these recent weeks... hits me as the roseatta stone - Our breath by breath, dna given purpose, is to lay down our lives for the global neediest. I've been circling in on this for 15 years, but I've hit a much greater level of clarity. Lay down our life for the neediest... with every breath. Schweitzer, Teresa of Calcutta, Malala, Mandela, Gandhi... this is what they did. And some of us place the likes of these at the pinnacle - I do. Because we westerners live so opposite of this we've moved to such a non-adaptive place - we can't see the need to stand, crazily, for our kid's future. We are too far away from home - lay down your life for the neediest, with every breath. With little hope for my efforts for the world, I still see my Path now as doing just that - laying down my life for the neediest, over the next whatever years I'm given. I'd LOVE for that to be on hunger strike with 10,000 others here in DC, but I've been down that road - folks in a graveyard don't hunger strike. But the disease is we've moved away from home - lay down your life for the neediest in creation (not bio-fam - we are ALL Family, ALL connected. Ebola in a non biofam kid can just as easily kill my biofam kid as another biofam kid can - we are ALL Family). I need to, as best I can, find, walk, and Live the path - lay down your life, every breath ,for the global neediest. So pitifully little, but it is the root cure, I'm so sure now, and the only cure that can save us from going over the cliff. Over coming weeks I'm sure I'll be posting more, but at my blog. I review posts on FB now but it is just such a substitute of talk for action... I think I can no longer feed into it. (((((HUGS))))) and much Loving forever, no matter what
