That was me responding to DD's bowing out of an interesting conversation - trying to get it back on its original track.
My start to this thread was flawed, but the course of the topic is worth keeping!
Uhm, sometimes a bow enlarges a field of battle or expands the scope of a discussion. It's like an acknowledgment, at times, but not necessarily a concession. Let's move forward.
What have we done today?
Think globally, act locally is a nice, quaint reference to the past , but more importantly, let's Think long-term, but Act right NOW!
There is so much more I need to say here. Can we just work this thread through with the other ones and maybe even vent our GREEN colons when we need to, right in this thread, inspiring others to talk, maybe? I would like to see every single one of us make some kind of comment - even a bitchy one.
Only one person so far has posted in a childish manner. That person may YET come to terms with this topic, if able.
I am proud to say that my "city-sponsored and collected" recycle bin was compressed, tight as fuck, and full to the rim, while my junk-out bin was only one fourth (maybe less) full today.
(edited typos - buttloads! Sorry.)
