doing the advocating...it's the heavy military hitters and more articulate progressives; basically both intellectual ends of the spectrum, telling us that there will be serious change real soon. the question is, do we let them put us thru a lot of suffering before we stop trading for baubles, or do we just "don't look" to quote lisa simpson.

very shortly, a lot of things are going to be beyond the reach of people. hell, look at the people here- lots of unemployed, underemployed, suffering. are we so lame that we can't talk about alternative strategies which will allow us to retain some agency as the process occurs?

besides, that's the other part of my question: how do we bring people's attention to this information? that's the 'active' part of what i'm getting at, and where i'd like ideas.
