6. Please - just one instance of social change which has been initiated by people "laughing a lot".

GG, really...this is goofy.

I shouldn't get hung up by other peoples' "shoulds and shouldn'ts" - or should?

It's too easy for people to laugh a lot, at everything, while buying shit they don't need.

Too easy to forgive API for misrepresenting the effects of their dirty, 19th-century fuel in order to profit from it.

Too easy to justify buying that natgas-powered conversation pit for our deck by thinking, "The best we can do is our best."

Too easy, too simplistic, too naive, too accommodating. Disastrous. It's attitudes like this which are the source of our problem, not its solution.
