18. I'll be 53 in two weeks.
And like I was mentioning above in another post, today is the 365th day I have been without electricity. I bought a ranch, and god forbid, I am building a house. It's a very difficult job due to the zoning. I am building to be away from the hoards. But I am building. Something I deplore. What a paradox. Hypocrisy?

I don't know how to answer your question. At least at the moment. I've said that enriching myself would never do much to help comfort me in comparison to living on a sane planet with fewer people using fewer resources. And I already have what I need. Having said that, I know someone who is working on a new website concept. He wants to create a place for education. This could be the proper forum for something along the lines of what you are thinking.

And by the way, my dad started an electronics corporation when he was 67.

I'm disparately searching for some way to diminish the suffering I am going through over the things that are in that video. No amount of money will help. I found that out when I made money. So perhaps this is where I need to be.

I am feeling awful. My head is throbbing. But there is a spark of something. Maybe it's hope. Maybe if I am engaged in actively working to change something that is this important I will find a contentment.

Thanks.
