Most people are dismissive of Lovelock because he offers no solutions. I think that he's right. If I didn't think that there was a pretty good chance he's right, I'd probably be managing a restaurant or selling furniture. I'm really good at those things. If I was younger, I'd try for Physician's Assistant or even General Practitioner; I might still try for the Physician's Assistant, or at least keep up the studies on my own. I'm not sure what educational opportunities my grandchildren will have, and I might be teaching them.
I know that this all sounds absolutely wacko. You have no idea how much I pray that Lovelock is wrong.
The five year plan for my family is to finish school. I told Mike that I'd stay in the States until 2012, and reevaluate.
