One indeed asks the question as to why so much effort is spent on those trivialities instead of reorganizing the priorities of those on the left. It is no longer hard to discover where lie the biggest threats to the masses -- and the workers -- AND everyone. Air, water, energy, food? Are there any more fundamental priorities? Shouldn't the responsibility of all those who champion the masses -- or seek to lead them --be to at least acquire cognizance of the relative importance of issues? Jela? Jared? Andrej? Where is your consciousness? More importantly, where are your voices regarding global warming? Only we can do it. Tom (another completely hopeless deep-eco, politically speaking.) PS Nestor!
