["E. E. Mitchamore Jr" <emitch@att.net>]

It seems that people who want to do "the right thing" always want to do more 
than they can manage (and stay sane).  Most of the people on this list are 
probably like that - Save the World!  It may be worse for this generation in 
light of our real-time awareness of all the World's problems.  I think we 
need to do some balancing in our lives - do what we can, while still 
achieving some pleasure and fulfillment out of life.  I guess that's why 
humans have always needed religion.  We need to believe that some higher 
power is in charge, 'cause we just can't fix all that's broke.  Just do what 
you can..........

  On the one hand I feel compelled to do all I can to help control this 
situation from my own little piece of the world. On the other hand I feel 
compelled to let Nature help me do the best I can to adapt to the changes and 
hope that the plants and animals also adapt... what results may be different 
than what we currently experience, but sometimes I feel so hopeless about the 
whole situation that maybe it's the best we can hope for. to just adapt and 
survive in whatever way we can. but there are so many species who won't 
survive without help, and maybe then only for a short time. maybe i have my 
head in the sand... and i'm ambivalent, I know. but i certainly do have a 
"wild zone" for the animals who choose to make it home or sanctuary.
