At the end of 2014 I met Don Midwest here in Portland. I had to cut our discussion short because I was coming down with a two week flu. I wondered if I'd survive it. Apparently I did. In any case, Don talked about Naomi Klein, about being involved, and working for change. I felt then that there was little hope that anything would ever get better unless the whole structure fell apart.

Now, 8+ months later, I feel that even more.
