The answer to this question &#8212; if there is an answer &#8212; could very well decide whether the human race is able to pull back from the environmental brink we&#8217;ve landed ourselves upon.

		<description><![CDATA[Fear is one of humanity&#8217;s most profound weaknesses. If we allow fear to stay with us in any kind of prolonged capacity, it holds us captive. Degenerates our ability to reason and react in effective ways. Prolonged fear can be used as an effective lever for the masses to move us in any particular direction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2010 mid-term elections are complete. I&#8217;ve always hated that term: &#8220;mid-term&#8221;. I don&#8217;t like that the election cycle is defined by the president&#8217;s time in office. It somehow dumbs-down the legislative elections in the same way that a mid-term exam might not be worth as much as the final when in fact the legislative [...]]]></description>

Not that I didn&#8217;t expect that difference, of course, but until it&#8217;s experienced it really can&#8217;t be understood. With our first child, I lived much closer to where I worked.
