Irving Portland, OR 97210 The stage is bare now. We are between theories. We are in the last period of the fossil fuel era- and the so-called nuclear era is already aborting. What we miss is something as simple as a vision of how we will live in the future. No one sees the future; we have no clear images- as a culture, as a nation, as the Western world. When the stage is empty there is unprecedented opportunity. When the stage of the future is unoccupied, when there is not one strong vision of which we are all in the process of working out, we don't have to fight against either the established vision or the rebels. There is no enemy. The empty stage is the rarest of opportunities. Then build a future, make it work, and let the world steal it.
