Commitment « It’s Getting Hot In Here

Hey so I haven’t been posting much on here lately, but it isn’t for lack of activity. There are definitely things coming up in Ohio to watch out for.

Anyways, I want to take a minute to say two things:

1) Let’s get freakin real, friends. Climate change is going to fuck us up, and we have got to do something now. I’m both scared and excited about what’s coming, and I think you should be too. I want to see real and disciplined commitment to building a new world together.

2) Nobody is going to fix this for us. These elections are a distraction. Corporations will always be slaves to profit, unless and until we alter the nature of corporate law. In short, it’s up to us.

I clearly want something, am aching for something – I don’t know what it is, but I think I’ll know it when I see it.
Whatcha got?
