Maybe it is more like the whole body toppling which will be more difficult to avoid. Have been meaning to get your new DVD. Cheers! Interesting analogy with the dinosaur foot coming down.

'the oaks are just to lofty, WE WILL MAKE THEM GIVE US LIGHT. Now there's no more Oak Oppression, For they passed a Noble law, And the trees are all kept equal, By Hatchet, Axe, and Saw." -Rush, "The Trees" The only natural right we have is the right to Try and Live. Everything else is just statutory and cultural. “The maples formed a union,
Demanding equal rights.
‘the oaks are just to lofty,
WE WILL MAKE THEM GIVE US LIGHT.

Now there’s no more Oak Oppression,
For they passed a Noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal,
By Hatchet, Axe, and Saw.”

I admire that you have done all this in the face of so much resistance. I agree with you about our future and appreciate you having the guts to say this stuff in public. I have alienated most of my friends and my sister because they think I am doom and gloom. Thank you again. Karen Fremerman Todd, You and your wife are amazing.

My own survival plan (once critical mass is ultimately reached during the Great Unraveling), is to be as small, mobile, and adaptive as possible...it may be as downscale as living in a tent...to avoid being caught up in the drama of the death stomp of the the dinosaurs. Not that physical survival is the ultimate goal for me...it's more of a character-building exercise than anything else, but part of me is keen on seeing if I have what it takes. (I probably don't...) Being a single and childless renter with no debt I have that luxury...my heart goes out to the people that don't. Especially the ones who ARE paying attention. Looking forward to your showing in Deerfield on the 5th! I should be there, barring any emergencies. Love the shrew metaphor!
