'I'm well into compiling a book, for INSHE Warrior wannabees.' SL

It's probably another full months work to finish, but today I'm feeling encouraged with both progress, process, and importance / value. 

My sense was that I owed the latent, aching INSHE Warrior wannabe of the future - days, years, centuries... an accessible view of SL in 2011.  So for days I've been working out the technical process for tracking and executing the manual/automated process of transcribing my video logs of the last year.  The process is shaping up better than I'd expected, the technical tools I've gathered are working, well, and as to the quality, we'll I'M Learning, I'm Growing, I'm Encouraged by re-listening to these vlogs, so my hope and confidence that some other, at some other point in time, can profit, has, well, increased a lot!

"My life's blood is slowly dripping away." SL

Oh, this definitely is a dramatic way of putting it, but not entirely.  I've 'sacrificed,' allowed to slip away, every support we consider necessary in our society, except for a few low-end sleeping bags that allow me to survive the winter cold, and the $2 per day that salves my conscience for the 10-14 hours per day that I work in the back corner of the God-send coffee shop that somewhere between tolerates and is fulfilled with my presence.  $2, every day, pretty much, tho when weather permits, I'll either be among the few promising souls at Occupy DC, doing what leavening I can, or in front of the White House, with my Kill Carbon posters, in either case.

$2 per day... drip, drip, drip.  I have  no replenishment.  Drip, drip, drip.

SL here. WE NEED TO START A MUTINY AMONG THE CHILDREN. NOW. REALLY.

We need to get millions of children age 5 years to 22 years old to ask their mom, their dad, their teacher... :

"Am I going to have coral reefs when I grow up and have kids?"

"Am I going to have millions and millions of different species of animals just like everyone else  always has?"

"Am I going to have to pay one out of every three dollars I make to pay for your delay in switching to wind and sun, to protect our cities against rising oceans, destroyed food crops, and stuff?"

"Am I going to have to go and die in wars over food and water and land disappearing under the ocean?"

"Will there be fish in the oceans like you had?  Will the seas be dead?"

"Will I have rivers and lakes to fish in, like you had?  Will they be gone, or dead?"

"Are you going to listen to the coal and oil companies and the politicians instead of the scientists when it comes to these things in my future?"

"Will you promise me that when I ask you these things 10 years from now that A. you will be proud of your answer?, and B. you can say that you really knew what you were talking about, today?"

MAKE IT SO.
