Remember... in the end Lelu tried. She was exhausted beyond reason but she gave us one last shot. I think we deserve one last shot.

We've done some incredible things... men on the moon, telescopes in space, robots on Mars. We're just starting to see beyond the crib. Some of us are even starting to think beyond the crib. If only we could move in the right direction without destroying the crib. Yes, I think we have indeed come to a crossroad as a species.

I'm still not sure what to do about Fukushima but Markey is more environmental and Warren is more economics. Maybe I'll split my efforts and pester Warren about what's going on in the states and start pestering Markey about trying to look more deeply into Fukushima. It's the least I can do.

And then there's still Keystone. FSM, will this ever stop! Unconditional love is so hard... especially when almost half the people in the states seem intent on blowing themselves back into the stone age (or worse.)
