You're right. It's sad but true. We're like a fast burning flame in the world using all of the resources at our disposal as if there were no bill coming due.

Ted Turner's standard stump speech about what ails the world includes the tripling of the world's population within his lifetime. This planet is unsustainable Malthusian pessimism or not, even the most addled brained optimist has to know that technology will not save us from everything.

On the coast, the Dungeness crab season totally sucked and the salmon stocks are apparently not all that healthy either. Besides, fish stocks, even in the 'pristine' rivers of Alaska are filled with things like PCBs and nondigestible metals.

I'm truly amazed by two things:

1. How we went from being an SUV-hungry nation a few years ago to being a we're-running-out-of-fuel nation with $3/gallon gasoline now.

2. How we went from being a global-warming-is-just-a-theory-like-evolution nation a few years ago to being a Greenland-is-melting-so-no-insurance-for-coastal-homeowners nation now.

From where I sit, the country's perception has suddenly changed in just about a year. It's truly amazing. I wonder what else will rock our world --and not in a fun way-- in the next year.
