Which also makes the point that Avalon is tending a lot to become a talking shop rather than a doing shop.

The idea was to meet people, quite urgently, of like minds, who know whats up, or some of it, and plan for possible catastrophic events which may wipe out most of the people on the Earth.

Tomorrow morning the crazy murderous madmen who are our problem could start a nuclear war. It's possible. The first 5 mins could see EMP's detonate which would cease all electronic communications everywhere. It's possible.

What will be the course of action then? You will neither be able to read the doom and gloom on Avalon or arrange to meet people off Avalon.
People may be losing interest in sitting digesting doom and gloom at their pc or laptop. If you are one of those people then my suggestion to you is this: Make friends, arrange to meet them, go out and meet. It is very depressing reading all this stuff and wondering what the hell is happening in your head, then reaching a quiet point , lull, such as the current one and possibly losing interest, thinking you had a momentary lapse into madness. Sorry, but you haven't. If you have woken up then its silly to fall back asleep. Go meet people, its refreshing to talk in person, and will give you the boost you may need to counter the D and G. Don't sit and complain about the people who's posts you don't agree with, arrange to meet the ones whose posts you DO agree with.

As Symbalon said, this is a cerebral exercise and that has a lifespan, it needs to be followed through to a physical exercise!
