We are almost there.

We're almost done. Shhh...

On one hand, we stand to lose one of the Earth s largest and most significant ecosystems.

Are we in fact putting ourselves in a situation where we're coming too close to thresholds that could lead to deleterious and very undesired, if now catastrophic, change for human development?

Within our campaign at farmsubsidy.org when we're successful we're almost faced with an avalanche of information.

You bring to the table such enormous processing power in this domain that you hardly even notice it.

We're so marinated in the culture of speed that we almost fail to notice the toll it takes on every aspect of our lives on our health, our diet, our work, our relationships, the environment and our community.

He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand. He shall cling to it, but it shall not endure.

Behold, he breaks down, and it can't be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

He works to the north, but I can't see him. He turns south, but I can't catch a glimpse of him.

When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble.

He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him

When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
