I'm a leftie too. Go green - yeah! One day soon we'll have no option except to go green. As for pessimism, whenever philosophical discussions wander too far into the dark, I just stop and go shopping. Okay maybe that only works for girls - its the gathering thing we females perfected when we lived in technologically backwards mini-communities. Except that I prefer to gather overpriced high heels instead of nuts and berries. view post
