This is not all together interesting.

However, you will read this post to its entirety because I deem it so. My will be done.

This week proved to be entirely uninteresting news-wise, unless you are me because my universe is always thrilling. A non-stop "thrill-a-diller" as John Sterling is fond of saying. I realize, of course, you do not know who John Sterling is. Your world is small. Turn on the radio and learn something.

I'd like to tell you something about sustainability. This is a "green" term. Not "green" in the sense of "it's not easy being green" although the irony is not lost on those of us smart enough to know Kermit the Frog was a visionary, way ahead of his time. Sustainability is about the future. If you suspend your disbelief long enough to believe there is a future.

I've been thinking about these big questions. What does the future hold? Do I even want to be a part of a future when the present is fairly shit-filled and unhappy for the vast majority?

Consider.

-- Colbert is no longer running for President.

-- The current roster of candidates are still running for President.

-- People, all over the world, act, for the most part, like animals. And by animals, I do not mean the cute and cuddly, inanimate kind on your bed but rather the Darwin "survival of the fittest", I-will-kill-you kind.

-- The poor outnumber the rich everywhere.

-- Mars is still uninhabited.

-- Mars Bars are extremely difficult to find and enjoy with abandon.

-- Mars Bars aren't even that delicious.

-- Today is All Souls Day. Have you prayed for the dead?

-- The dead are scary.

Faced with the above unavoidable facts, sustainability seems not so attractive. It implies a rather laisez faire, "oh just go along with it" attitude. Not quite a forward-looking ability but rather a survival tactic. What happened to progressiveness? What happened to hope? What happened to common courtesy?

Alack. A direct hit with the two-pronged goad seems almost welcome. Quick relief. But no, puppies. We're in this sustainability together.

So onward. This is my brief inspirational message to you on All Souls Day, otherwise known as Day of the Dead.

You are welcome.
