But Moon Cat, what if it's too late by December?
Should we accept the catastrophic status quo, or rail against the dying of the light?
As for my position on the fringe being "comfortable"...? Seriously man, it's a long way from that. I've spent almost my entire life being told that I'm wrong, or I'm mad, or I'm a fool, or I'm arrogant / patronising etc etc etc.
Even a slight understanding of mental health issues should reveal exactly the kinds of effects that has on a person.
I've spent part of my life in obscene luxury, materially speaking. And I've spent part of it in serious poverty. I have very very rarely felt comfortable. Either within my own skin, or within the world at large.
