conversations and global change PotUS

And as you said, it’s definitely not just this country! We all know that; we’re watching the worldwide (well, not *everywhere*, at least not yet) waves of suppression toward homeopathy and other forms of “natural medicine”, and freedoms in general.

One set of REALLY important things we all need to be learning, is how to engage with the situation(s) both effectively, and also in ways that do not destroy us or our communities. Anger is a terrific *motivator*, but as a steady part of the diet, it tears a person (and a community) down. Short-term and focused anger, great; gets you going. But long-term and pervasive, it poisons. It’s a dilemma…
