Maybe 100,000 people or more in Colorado have really changed their understanding on climate change. Maybe that many in the USA or more have also decided guns are not good unregulated. And maybe they will vote that way in the future. You don‘t wish bad things on people but, when the bad things are caused by the actions of humans, it is time for some deep thinking and feeling. And in a while a reconnection to the world with a healthier understanding of how it all works and our place in that.
