Its easy to show based on the lack of real content in campaign ads that the voters are the slaves to passion whod do better in the hands of a more rational master. Aristotle referred to. Its just as clear the elected leadership is not a more rational master. Presenting the facts here over the last few decades did, for instance, help with Marijuana reform. But nobody thinks we have another 30 years to reform the production & consumption of energy or preserve ecosystems & species diversity. Its too late already in many cases. Your free speech is drowned out by corporate speech; so rather than vainly trying to convince fools of their folly, wed do better to exchange clues to what is really going on, and how long we have before TSHTF, and what wed be able to do about that. That debate too has changed from foreseen financial panic, which after all, leaves the infrastructure intact to rebuild with, to what happens when Mother Nature bats last, and what youd have to work with then. Somewhere between the political and environmental crisis is the analysis of petroleum professional Richard Heinberg showing fracking output will run down in another year or two. Also, in the next 2 years, wed expect the more corrupt and incompetent fossil fuel economies to revolt as revenues no longer support entitlements.
