As recently as a few month ago, if you were having a discussion with someone about the environment and our effect on it, we were likely to hear that it's impossible to get people to quit driving so much, traveling by airplane, indulging in the many luxuries to which we've become accustomed. But today, that's a different story. For instance, in Boston, Massachusetts, car travel has dropped by 75%. I read an article about a man who rides his bicycle everywhere and he says he can often pedal 10 miles without seeing another car. And without those cars on the road, more people are willing to ride bicycles, which will cause them to be healthier, which will result in less visits to doctors, which will mean fewer prescriptions given -- and on and on, until we are back to the way we were meant to be before corporation began to manipulate us into lifestyles we were promised were much better than the old. Whew! What a relief! And this domino effect goes on and on. People are discovering they don't need to color their hair, which is in and of itself a poison to our systems. And manicures -- don't get me started on that! Bottom line is we're waking up to many truths we have been ignoring, don't you think? And after people's display of hedonism last weekend, seems it may take another whack up side of the head for us to "get it". I think we will. This causes me to want to sing the song from Hair: This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius!
