I love your optimism

Thank you, Glenn. I just see so much good in these millenials. There is a spiritual belief they were sent here to save the world. They call them the "indigo children." My son is a millenial, and I've watched this generation very carefully. They are by and large smarter and more sympathetic and empathetic than other generations. The government has done everything possible to harm them; pumped them full of psychoactive drugs, stole their parents' homes and retirements, made a lot of them homeless, put them into insane amounts of debt just to get a college education, and they STILL want to save the world. Now that is resilience! You can't look at them closely and not see a better future.

20 years ago, I was spraying, spreading and dusting chemicals on anything and everything because that's the way it was done. That's all I knew. Then I started thinking back to the way my grandmother gardened, and now I hardly ever use a chemical, and in fact, am trying to learn permaculture. In a very large part, this is because of how I saw millenials gardening. They have turned back to nature's way of doing things, and you have to love that.

They are really amazing kids. I wish I could live long enough to see the world completely in their hands. Alas, I'm already 64, so I probably won't, but it's close.

Hi

Interesting ?? but since I'm 73 doubt I'll have much interest in gardening by then??lol The points you mention seem such minor problems compared to world as a whole ?? I keep expecting some moron on his way to "paradise " to get hold of some nuclear weapon and thin out those infidels in a very large way . Since the infidels control most of them perhaps they will be first?? If not still have the problem of world population should double again by then??

My great grand children seem to be doing well so I remain opptomistic.

After all all the problems that were a big deal when I was a kid are dim memories ?? I like your thoughts though!! gary
