Hi Carolyn:

It seems that everywhere I turn these days there's bad news -- food shortages, rising gas prices, etc. -- and it's really starting to get me down. How do you deal with things when there's so much negativity out there?



Blahs and More Blahs

Cultivate your little patch of earth the best you can, and, if you have energy to spare at the end of the day, pitch in on someone else's.

If it helps to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya," that's fine, too.

And it will annoy the hell out of neocons, among whom (I have read) "Kumbaya" is a curse word.

Always sort of annoyed me as well. It's like singing Kumbaya will put the world right. Stop singing and get off your ass and do something to make it right! Or at least sing Kumbaya while doing something to make it right!

Maybe while the col is at it they can define what is folk, once and for all, too.
