Hundreds of responses poured into my computer concerning the movie documentary, BLIND SPOT, www.blindspotdoc.com. It’s amazing how millions can look at a steam locomotive bearing down on them and continue walking on the tracks away from the train so they won’t see it when it runs over them.

Again, I urge you to place this DVD video into the hands of our president, governors, senators and House reps of Congress.

The amount of denial at the highest and lowest levels of American society remains breathtaking.
Dr. William Catton said, “We are creating an environment on earth in which we cannot exist. The question remains will we change our population or will nature do it for us. Do we want to preserve our planet that we inherited? If so, we must change our use of energy.”
