Yes, yes it does.  Having a dog was a *huge* adjustment for me; I've always had 
cats.  Took our cat about 3 months to adjust to the dog, but when he did, he 
was sure to claim his status as *top dog.*  He still rules...

My Jack Russell wears her heart on her sleeve and she's very devoted to me; I 
had never experienced dog love before - but I've learned a lot from her.  
She's higher maintenance than our sweet cat, but that's O.K., she's worth it. I 
do need to put us both through more training.

 I loved that picture of the lab in #9, classic. And if you can love a cat 
 you're a better human than me; I think they are generally harder to love but 
 a dog is a no brainer - or at least they gravitate to my heart easily.

 Ex-Followers Demonstrate Against 
 TM
  
 From Grounding 
 the Guru, by Susan Gervasi, City Paper (Washington, DC), 7/13/90; 
 14,16.
  
     
 More than 800 members of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental 
 Meditation, attending a week-long convention at Washington, DC's 
 Omni-Shoreham Hotel in June, faced the protest of members of TM-EX, an 
 informal 
 anti-TM group that educates the public about TM and offers exit counseling 
 to 
 those who want out of the movement.
  
     
 One TM-EX, former 15-year follower Curtis Mailloux, a 33-year-old real estate 
 broker from Fairfax, VA, denounced the organization as a cultist religion 
 that 
 is exploitative, deceptive, and damaging. Mailloux is a 1979 graduate of 
 Maharishi International University, in Fairfield, IA, who in 1985 became head 
 of 
 TM's Washington Center.
  
     
 TM-EXers do not dispute that TM can be an effective relaxation technique, 
 though 
 they say it is no better than similar relaxation regimens. The danger in TM, 
 they say, comes when the discipline takes over the meditators' 
 lives.
  
     
 TM-EX member Joe Kelley said: When we started we were told it was a simple, 
 effortless technique for releasing stress with no religious implications. 
 Initially, it was a 20 minute technique. But by taking advanced residence 
 courses and other activities, I was effectively made into a Hindu believer, 
 said Kelley.
  
     
 Former TM teacher Diane Hendel, who has sued the organization for fraud and 
 extortion, said the many bizarre mental experiences she had were considered a 
 sign of spiritual superiority. I saw little creatures with wings during 
 intensive meditation periods, she related. They were like my pets. They'd 
 tell 
 me things. She was encouraged to believe that these winged beasties were 
 devas -- Hindu spirits of nature. I began not to be able to tell who was a 
 person and who was a deva, she said. Hendel sought counseling, eventually 
 quit 
 meditating, and left the movement.
  
     
 Mailloux said involvement in the movement becomes a prison of specialness. 
 Especially as a leader in the movement, there's no way you can leave this 
 group 
 and be [regarded by other devotees as] OK or leave with dignity... I was only 
 special as a nervous system which is a 'generator of purity,' not as an 
 individual.
  
     
 Mailloux's specialnessearned him three years in Florida with a group of 
 celibate TM men, living monastically within the movement, where he enjoyed 
 the 
 adulation of female movement groupies drawn to his hard-to-getness -- a 
 common 
 ego-trip among the celibates, he said. Some movement women with low 
 self-esteem, 
 he added, tend to get fixated on these celibate men and get milked for 
 donations 
 to support them.

   When  we retrieve a memory, we also rewrite it, so that the time next
 we go  to remember it, we don't retrieve the original memory but the
 last one  we recollected. So, each time we tell a story, we embellish
 it, while  remaining genuinely convinced of the veracity of our
 memories.
 The  bottom line is that memory is essential to constructing scenarios
 for  ourselves in the future. Anecdotal evidence backs this up. Our
 ability  to project forward and to recollect the past both develop
 around age 5,  and people who are good at remembering also report having
 vivid thoughts  about the future.
   Huw Price's Time's Arrow and Archimedes'  Point, argues
 that concepts of cause and effect derive from our  experience as agents
 in the world and may not be a fundamental feature  of reality.

because she was just so cute in the short-lived Pushing Daisies, which
was edited by one of our at-the-time FFL members.

  You're more PC about it than they are. 
  
  
  BTW, since this exchange is about posts to me, then it is really up

 You are like the girlfriend who keeps returning to the guy who beats 
 her and makes excuses for him. That is your business and your 
 prerogative. I foolishly re-opened this subject with you but you 
 can't 'go there' and face certain aspects of what happened and that's 
 fine because it is you and not me. Choose to surround yourself with

Hi Xeno, thanks for sharingRe: thisThen all hell broke loose. A vast 
amount of repressed material rose up and flowed out of me. A total surprise. So 
clearly the awakening was not a clean slate. It was ultra intense, say twenty 
times more intense than anything I had experienced up to then. And the 
experience was truly unusual because while my regular life flowed along, there 
was this other stuff that I knew was not real, but it felt so real it was 
impossible to not act on it.

Something akin to this happened to me once.except that I thought it was 
real.  Smile.  Keep 'em coming Xeno.

   I experimented and researched. But eventually it was kind
   of full circle, I ended up reading about things that
   initially propelled me on the journey, and found answers
   to questions I could not find easily within the TM org
   and TM teachers.
  
   What propelled the restoration of interest in all this was
   a sudden unexpected shift in experience. Everything I had
   thought had failed, proved in retrospect to have been
   useful, but to have had more specific information at
   specific times in my life would possibly have made the
   process more efficient.
 
  I'm not convinced that would be true. Information that
  told you what an experience meant would have been just
  one more bit of misinformation, after all. The experience
  was what it was -- nothing more, and nothing less.
 
 
 I was thinking along the lines of not what a description of an
 experience means but how a description helps one navigate an experience.
 Obviously, if I have the thought that things might have been 'better' if
 I had had more useful information at the time, this thought is not going
 to apply to me now, but it might be useful to someone else later on, so
 they do not get quite so stuck. Not so much what this means, but what do
 I do, if anything, when such and such happens, and I do not understand
 what is happening? Certain traditional hand-me-downs do become useful,
 such as what a screw is, and what a screwdriver is, and how to use them
 in what circumstance, and how these items relate to sticking things
 together.
 
 After what I would call a very clear but subdued awakening experience
 some years ago, things were pretty nice for several years. There was
 something about this particular experience, unlike others I had had long
 ago, that I could not grasp in any way. Even the attempt to talk about
 it stymied me. Then all hell broke loose. A vast amount of repressed
 material rose up and flowed out of me. A total surprise. So clearly the
 awakening was not a clean slate. It was ultra intense, say twenty times
 more intense than anything I had experienced up to then. And the
 experience was truly unusual because while my regular life flowed along,
 there was this other stuff that I knew was not real, but it felt so real
 it was impossible to not act on it. It was like my mind was split in two
 with two parallel lives running simultaneously, one the present and the
 other thoughts, feelings, behaviours from long ago. I had no clue what
 was happening.
 
 If I had asked a TM teacher what was happening they probably would have
 said I was 'just unstressing, that I should take it easy and maybe get
 my meditation checked or something'. No really useful information or
 guidelines that apply directly. Extreme experiences like this seem to be
 swept under the rug by TM teachers, anything not in the template. I
 suspect they do not really have any training to handle them. I found a
 solution in what I was reading. It seems that after a clear awakening,
 one's ability to keep repressed material repressed simply falls apart.
 The can of worms is open, and if something triggers the experience, you
 cannot close it, and the experience really does seem like you are coming
 apart at the seams. All you can do is endure it. Nothing helps. It is as
 if finally there is enough room in your world to experience this. The
 intellectual knowledge that this is common, that others experienced it,
 and that it is super intense, and that you have to go through it because
 there is no way to back out, is really useful. Kind of like the
 emotional equivalent of childbirth as far as pain. That information,
 along with the stability conferred by awakening allowed me to get
 through it, just barely. Without that information I would have been a
 lot more confused, and perhaps would have done things even more stupid
 than had occurred to me to attempt at the time. Half of my time during
 this was acting on a mental delusion caused by the release. Finally it
 subsided after a few years. It was a strangely miserable/wonderful
 several years. After that my sense of stability was much, much greater,

   After having read this interview, I suspect that Jerry might agree

   thoughtful, and having learned a great deal about life and what makes
  it
   worth living:

   I particularly liked what he said in response to the inevitable
  question
   about whether he'll ever go back to TV. I found it mind-boggling in
  its
   honesty, its in-your-face-ness, and in its accuracy:
  
   THR: Is there a scenario where you'd go back to TV?
  
   Seinfeld: That's what I feel like I'm doing. Except television frankly
   feels small compared to the world I'm in now. I'm in Australia, I'm in
   Norway, I'm in the U.K. And I was from day one. I'm doing the smallest
   possible show on the biggest possible network. This all feels like
  fresh
   air to me, and if you don't seek fresh air as an artist, I'm not quite
   sure what [you're doing].
  
   Suffice it to say I'm downloading all of the episodes of Comedians In
   Cars as I write this. Having read his ideas on comedy, and that the
   best of it is created in the moment, with no notes, I am mightily
   looking forward to what he created.

Re: You speak as if he really had an enlightenment experience.

I, with enlightenment experiences (back in the day) attributable only to LSD, 
have the requisite brain cells left necessary to objectively determine this

Jason, I concede to ignorance on the matter of enlightenment.  Now, an 
enlightenment experience is something else altogether in my mind.  My 
conscience had a pang (I'd like to call it a moment of enlightenment) on my 
drive towards the ocean today (my life is like a milk run - I have so many 
stops I can never get anywhere) and I'd like to apologize for the rude and 
crude term (pull your head out of your ass) I used.  I was channeling my father 
on that one, but as I'm trying to teach my children that they can't blame 
*everything* on their mother, I will give dear old dad a break on this.  I 
won't say that one again - even to Barry.  

I could also blame my rudeness on the cup of coffee, the upset within over the 
situation in Syria, or the idea that I find the discussion of whether or not 
Robin was enlightened, was never enlightened (according to certain criteria), 
is still enlightened and doesn't know it, etc. etc., kind of pointless.  
However, I'll just stick with the apology and tell you that I'm sorry I was 
such a jerk.  Emily.

 Emily,




 Since it looks like Barry is currently in the middle of another Robin
 eruption, I thought it might be helpful to follow up on an invitation
 that Raja Ravi extended to us---to come up with a title for Barry's
 autobiography. I hope my submission is not too late; I've been
 preoccupied writing a press release for a revolutionary new product,
the
 wife invented---that reverses the aging process.




 At the time of Raja Ravi's gracious invitation, Barry was tailgating
 Stephen King (not as badly as he tailgated Elmore Leonard, whose 10
 writing rules he posted---before he seems to have read them---and then
 posted an 11th rule he made up himself to give himself cover after he
 realized that Leonard's 10 made him look like a hack) and some of
his
 thoughts on first sentences; with that in mind, I thought I might
offer
 a title, soundtrack and first sentence; they're rough as I haven't
 finished the press release yet, but---with your exceptional writing
 skills, that never disappoint---I trust you implicitly to edit and
 improve my humble offering before its submitted to the judges (Ravi).





 Title:  *She was always on my mind*.




 Sound track: Always on my Mind

 Suggested first sentence of Barry's autobiography:




 Gravity became a kingly host, as my breathing fled my body for the
last
 time---and Judy's life began flashing before my eyes---slowly, truly,
 like watching FIREFLY, for the tenth time---constantly rewinding my
 favorite scenes, saying: 'to hell with plot development, I need a hat
 like that', as I noticed---to my horror---and thought: 'no, this can't
 be true, it just can't be, I'm sure its not---God wouldn't do this to
 me; I know I behaved badly---like I was an eight year old, when I was
 pushing 70---and, like Bubbles DeVere, pretended crowds of people had
 complimented the first sentence of my *FREE* online book: Road Trip
 Mind, when it was only Maya, just before she hit me up for 10
 Euros---to buy some bitter liquorice; OMG, what did I do to deserve
 this; that's definitely not Judy, it's, its---no it can't be---it's
 Robin, and he's saying something: That's not., but I can't quite
 make it out: That's not how., OMG, if I'd only listened to him
 more carefully when I had the chance---what can he possibly be saying:
 That's not how you write..., what was that, I need to relax more':

  Getting blasted by Barry, and getting blasted by you are,
  for me, entirely different experiences. For me, that recent
  post to Share was the only one, of the ones of Barry's I
  have read recently that comes close to your intensity.
 
 You've missed quite a few posts of his, it seems.
 
 Did you see this one, for instance?
 
 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/349106
 
 (Actually this is my response, but Barry's post is
 quoted in its entirety. Interestingly, not long
 afterward, he decided he was going to go back to
 not responding to his enemies. Oh, BTW, below
 Barry's post are my responses to two of yours,
 which I'm not sure you saw either.)
 
 Here's another (also with my response at the top):
 
 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/349548
 
  It makes me wonder if somewhere in your life history your
  method of responding to people developed in response to
  some less than pleasant events, or it could a family
  characteristic.
 
 Neither, sorry to disappoint you. Maybe I was just lucky,
 but until I started posting to electronic forums 25 or
 so years ago, I'd never encountered this kind of
 intellectual and factual dishonesty and gratuitous
 obnoxiousness. (You can call that a less than pleasant
 event if you like, but somehow I don't think it's what
 you had in mind.)
 
  Some people seem inclined to confrontation and argument
  more than others. So in reply to your last comment, aside
  from the question I asked about percentages, I do think
  you are confrontational and accusatory. I am stating this
  as if it were a fact. But the other side of the coin is,
  do you think yourself that you are this way or not?
 
 When I think it's appropriate, yes indeed. (The difference
 between you and me in that regard is that I'm honest
 about it.)
 
  Do the people on the forum who are generally favourable to
  you think you are confrontational and accusatory? There
  would seem to be a range of opinion on this issue.
 
 I guess you've thought more about it than I have. It's not
 something I'm concerned about. You probably should ask
 the folks you have in mind.
 
  I would assume that those who thought you were would tend
  to be more favourable in Barry's direction, and those who
  felt you were not would not be favourable to Barry, and
  even if they thought you were confrontational and accusatory,
  would feel it was justified as you championed ideas and an
  outlook on life they were more comfortable with.
 
 I have no idea what your point is here. I think people react
 to Barry as individuals, not because of how I react to him.
 
 Maybe you're the exception, though.

 I was thrilled with last weeks *posting without limits*,
 it gave me a sense of power and control knowing that I could
 respond to any and all of the 1500+ posts that I just finished
reading.

 One of our illustrious contributors suggested that we might consider a
*Best of FFL*
 going forward, and with that in mind I set myself the difficult task
of picking
 my favorite subject for the week; it was a challenge (how could anyone
best Share's attempt
 to prove she speaks in tongues), but a decision had to be made and I'm
going with:Â

 Is Voldemort a hack?

 When I read Voldemort's posts I ask myself: Where's the art?. For
someone with his
 considerable output on FFL, who puts so much effort into selling
himself to us as

 a creative writer, art seems conspicuously absent from his
contributions; this might
 be less true if you consider manual (or phonebook) writing a creative
act.

 As he makes clear above, Voldemort is a writer of manuals, and, IMO,
when he attempts

 anything more than that, the word hack pretty much nails what he
becomes.

 For something to be considered art it's imperative that it have the
ability to defamiliarize*
 by making the familiar, unfamiliar and *new*; Voldemort's posts
completely fail at this.
 OTOH, Judy's choice of the word hack, to describe Voldemort, is a
great example of effective
 defamiliarization---it gave me a new experience of something that was
familiar about him.

 I also must agree with Judy that irony is the life blood of creative
writing

 (writing phonebooks, not as much), and reading Voldemort's attempts at
writing creatively

 ---when he is so handicapped in the irony department (narcissism will
do that), is like watching

 someone with no hands attempt to show off his penmanship (no My left
foot jokes please). He also
 appears to be unable to go beyond cliche and what Martin Amis calls
heard words, which make

 his offerings, on this forum at least, quite artless. Anyone who
considers Voldemort a creative writer
 might consider rereading Hemingway (if you are interested in
understanding some of Kerouac's limitations,
 who Voldemort attempts to emulate---without demonstrating any of
Kerouac's talent as an artist).


 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abc819rT6wI


 The film The Master was an example for me of the way art can make
the familiar *new*; the whole film

 delivered artistically, but the scene where Lancaster Dodd (Philip
Seymour Hoffman) Processes Freddie

 Quell (Joaquin Phoenix)---for the first time, felt in some way like
the first time I meditated; my experience of

 the scene was familiar and at the same time completely new; part of it
was the suggestiveness of Dodd's
 voice, but more was the scene's transition from Dodd's voice to Quell
*living* a previous experience
 as if for the first time, and the familiarity it had to my first
meditation and the first superlative

 clarity of the thought (engram or, if you will, un-stressing) that
reported or noticed an artifact of my

 awareness that had just existed without thinking.


 The art of the writing, acting, and editing were part of it, but I
believe it was the cinematography,
 with its use of 70mm film (which is rare today), that more than
anything else was essential to making

 the experience possible for me.


 Another component of the film that worked the same way for me was
Joaquin Phoenix's characterization
 of Freddie Quell, which allowed me to experience---as if for the first
time---character types that I
 met as a child who were friends of my father that had served with him
in WW2; JP's characterization

 of Quell had the same effect on me as a number of characters Jim
Thompson (writer of The Getaway and

 The Grifters) created that felt as new, when I read about them in
his novels, but reminded me of some
 psychopathic cowboy's my father socialized with.


 I wouldn't disagree that Voldemort's posts are full of conflict (more
than one detective has found creative
 uses for the Yellow Pages, when

  the four core members of the MGC alone. Overall, 
  subtracting the posts *I* made from the total, I'm

  I think one could make a case for focused on. :-)
 
 You seem to be conveniently overlooking that most 
 reactivity toward you is in response your own 
 reactive/egoic, separation-creating behavior. For 
 example, a very common theme of your posts is to 
 describe something enjoyable in your life with a 
 zinger at the end how TM/FFLers/seekers are bad/wrong.

And? 

If part of my goal were to get TMers or other seekers
who consistently present themselves as better than 
others to *demonstrate* their own attachments, hatreds, 
and reactivity, and thus point out the difference between 
their PR and their reality, can you think of a more 
effective way to do so? 

WHAT in the post do they focus on? WHAT do they react
to? 

What you focus on, you become. 

Are you suggesting that they have no *choice* but to

Dear Share, I think you may be correct here in your self evaluation - are you 
feeling cramps?  

Vata vitiation: swelling or distention of the abdomen, rumbling sound of the 
intestines.

One should not forget the underlying basis of Ayurveda, which is not physical 
medicine, but spiritual medicine: it is the unsettled spirit and the mind not 
open to full consciousness that remains at the root of these problems.

Remember, externalize everything, internalize nothing  (smile and wink).  

I must go now for today, but I send you positive thoughts.  Emily

 Yes, it is very troubling that Barry has crossed the 50 post barrier. Since 
 that has occurred, are you sure you want God's help, as God seems to have 
 allowed it. However, there are far worse chatterboxes on the forum. I have no 
 desire to follows so much material, so I will have to pick and choose and 
 ignore, and maybe stay away for days at a time. Is the post count a measure

Hi Share, I haven't left yet - I always back away to shift into pack mode and I 
am busy so this is all I will reply to.  

Share, in general, cutting is a self-harm technique used to release pain.  I 
was referring to the fact that you are bleeding all over this forum and doing 
yourself harm and it is excruciatingly painful to watch/experience for me, but 
I am sensitive.  So, just don't start cutting, O.K.?  

Share, you brought up the food topic but you tried to pretend you didn't, but 
saying you referred to it tangentially - tangentially counts Share.  You know 
you have issues with food and I know you do too. Food is survival - don't 
punish yourself like this. I was bringing them back to your attention 
yesterday.  I don't, but I have other issues - it's not too late to address the 
self-hate you feel Share.  

You must be queen bee Share and go after all the women here but yet, you let 
your king bee off the hook. Do you hate women Share?

Look at the behavior of your bedfellow Share.  Look how he treated you after 
the months you've spent suckling him?  Does it even occur to you that *you* 
need to take a look at what it is inside *yourself* that draws you to this man? 
 

Take a day off - meditate - do some introspection - evaluate the complete 
disregard you have for yourself in how you conduct yourself.  Give your poor 
tired, frantic brain a rest.  Take a bath.  Be kind to yourself.  Write with 
purpose.  Write full sentences.  I care Share, but your relentless pain and 
demands of everyone is exhausting to participate in.

Bye now, Emily

   in Fairfield, I set aside most afternoons to play
   Bananagrams and to talk with people, and I am
   generally available then for free if anyone wishes
   to speak with me there. And we can correspond by
   email and facebook for free.
 
  That must be where you perfected what Curtis
  called your Neuro-Linguistic Programming robot-
  speak. Having now experienced it, I cannot help
  but agree with his description. :-)
 
  They fall for that stuff in Fairfield, do they?

 I worked with Rory a few times, and it was helpful.
 Similar to your incessant need to make others wrong,
 I constantly make myself wrong, which makes me
 absolutely miserable. For a while, Rory's particle/
 wavicle work was able to shut down that toxic internal
 dialog and give me some relief. After a while, it
 stopped working, and that was that.
   
Whatever floats yer boat.
  
   Said with deep understanding, empathy and usual desire to make someone
  feel good about themselves (not) Barry bumbles on isolating himself in
  an endless cycle of belligerence and self-isolation.
   
  
  Don't worry about me, Ann. I found a technique that works even better
  than Rory's...

 Hey, Ravi! Thanks for asking. I can see how it would seem like abstract, 
 vague bullshit. I don't know if I can make it much clearer or more concrete, 
 but I will give it a shot. It often appears as if every one, every body, is 
 in me, in my bodymind, in my being. When people get my attention, we 
 engage, energetically. That doesn't mean I understand them, necessarily; most 
 often I don't at first. Often they present themselves to me as being in pain, 
 or perhaps just as a tension-point. Sometimes I get lost in the suffering at 
 first. But as I attend to them (or to the aspect of me that appears to me as 
 them) and love them, I integrate them, or at least that side of them/me I am 
 seeing at the moment, and we end up feeling really good together, dissolving 
 together in light and bliss. It is not unlike lovemaking, in a way. I am not 
 sure why you mention Amma; I do not consider myself a guru nor a guru's 
 follower, nor do I particularly wish to be.

 Thank you! I woke up in a very good mood, which is quite the contrast with

 It soothes ones sorrows, heals one's wounds,

 And drives away one's fears.

 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
 And calms the troubled breast;
 'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
 And to the weary rest,
 And to the weary rest.

 Dear names! the rock on which I build,
 My shield and hiding place;
 My never-failing treaury filled
 With boundless stores of grace,

Dear Share, which on this list would you like to present to the forum for

your list and outlining your views on it and why you have them? 

Make an effort to seek out somebody who doesn't see the world the way you do,

Share, it is always good to look at both sides to an issue.  But, ultimately, 
one has to vote.  How do you vote on the issue of nuclear power?  How do you 
vote on the issue of GMO?  Come on woman, state your truth - you seem unwilling 
to ever commit and defend your position - standing on the fence at all times.

 Susan, thank you so much for posting this and thanks to salyavin too for

 always a good process.
 
 OTOH, there are as you say, terrible compromises to made. It's as if one 
 option is 95% horrific and the other is 96% horrific. These are the kind of 
 choices that gave executive monkeys ulcers in long ago research by Brady and 
 Porter.
 
 There are some in both spiritual and scientific communities who think that 
 extinction of the human race is simply part of a larger cycle of evolution, a 
 blip in the ever expanding universe. Humbling.Â

  These pro nuclear environmentalists make me laugh, I think they
  come from a place where we absolutely *have* to keep consuming
  power at the insane rate we have for the last hundred years and
  that cutting back on consumption isn't a plausible option.
 
 The docu mentions this problem.  It seems that the pro-nuclear 
 environmentalists have become rather practical. First, they don't believe 
 that cutting back is an option - that to think that our own Western 
 populations will cut back is a pipe dream.  It might be smart and the right 
 thing to do, but it won't happen.  And seond, for us to expect the developing 
 nations to not have what we have - cars, unlimited energy - it not fair and 
 also is not happening.  China and India and Brazil are moving full steam 
 ahead and will use whatever energy source is around. Second, they feel that 
 given that our demands for energy will not be dropping, we cannot just count 
 on water, wind and solar sources. Anything that  helps is good, but those 
 systems simply will not solve the problem anytime soon. We are running out of 
 time, and to wait for other types of energy is wishful thinking for now.

  But the real disaster is waste, I have heard of these fast breeder
  reactors but I'm not even sure they have been demonstrated to work very 
  well and they do still create a small amount of waste and it
  becomes much more toxic than the 11,000,000 barrels of stuff we
  have lying around the UK waiting to be buried. 
 
 snip
 
 Many of the same big environmentalists who have switched and are now pro 
 nuclear are also now pro GMO food.  Same idea:  the world is going to run out 
 food, and the way we raise food and animals for slaughter is incredibly 
 polluting. We need to raise lots of food using less land and fewer chemicals. 
  GMO's do that.  I hate that idea.  It feels like a terrible compromise to 
 say that while we see the problems in nuclear or GMO food, we must go for a 
 lesser evil or our planet is cooked. 
 
 I am on the fence with both issues, but my mind is open to the possibility 
 that huge compromises may need to be made.  I believe we are on the brink of 
 disaster with global climate change, and it might already be too late for 
 anything to make a difference.  The window of opportunity might be gone.  
 Maybe chaos and then a collapse of most civilizations will bring things to a 
 halt and that is the way to go.  I just don't know.  But we have major 
 difficulties ahead and continuing to think that we all have to reduce our 
 energy demands and eat organic is ignoring reality.
