Been around a while. On the general scene I mean. Been lurking here, but never posted. Decided I'd try it out.
I maintain faith that we'll get things together, launch a social transformation and set humanity back on a decent footing. But the more I learn, and the stronger I become on theoretical, economic and political grounds, the more I have to battle the old "human nature" crap, even as it rises within me.
You can see some of the problems I'm dealing with in the thread I started in learning: "What to do with the anti-social, selfish and ignorant?" (sorry, can't post link as a new member).
Lately I've been reading a lot about all the bullying going on, in America, in Asia, all over. It's really bothering me. Here are innocent young children doing this horrifying things. Driving others to suicide even. It's really difficult to see a new dawn rising out of that darkness.
Still, I maintain.
Anyway, I look forward to participating here and hope some of our conversations can help break me out of my doldrum!
