    I remember being in high school and the boys were worried about the draft and their lottery numbers. We had a debate in Civics class about whether 18 year olds should be able to vote if after all they are expected to go to war. Only one other in my class besides me believed that 18 year old were responsible enough to vote.

    Ever since I have been dismayed by my generation.

    I went from growing up with a dad who taught us how to hunt and how to gather wild foods to eat and live off the land, to being a conspicuous consumer, with two homes, a motorhome, a couple of cars and assorted toys. I am at times dismayed at myself. I recycle but I question its value. http://www.english.umd.edu/sites/def...ettehadieh.pdf I eat local and organic, but not because it is healthier as that is questionable, but to support the local economies. Which may be to the detriment to other economies. I only eat meat that is not "factory farmed" for moral reasons, but I actually believe I should not eat mammals or birds at all. I ride my bike to the local grocery store but then drive 500 miles to visit a friend.

    At least I did not reproduce.
