3. brings up the interesting dilemma of "too much information" . . .
given the plethora of issues -- really critical issues -- facing us, it takes enormous amounts of time just to keep up, much less take action . . .

where do I put my energy and my dollars? . . . the fight for honest elections? . . . the fight to end the war? . . . the fight for the truth about 9/11? . . . the fight to take back Congress? . . . the fight for impeachment? . . . the fight for the environment? . . . the fight for better schools? . . . the fight to preserve science? . . . the fight to stop the Canadian seal slaughter? . . .

and on . . . and on . . . and on . . .

"All of them!", you say? . . . sorry, don't have the time, the psychic space OR the money . . .

being aware and keeping up on all the issues is damn near a full-time job . . . activism is overtime . . . my head hurts . . .
