Times are changing. Yes, it's a mad world, but things are changing for the better. In the past I suffered tremendously from cigarette smoke. It was wherever I went. It seemed a long process, but it's actually a revolution, in a few years time smoking has been banned in most public places. I almost don't have to bother about it anymore. I could not have dreamed that 10 years ago. And that to me is a confirmation that humans can change if we only want to. ...or better, if we only reach a higher level of awareness. And that we do. Climate chance, another example, is [seemingly] all of a sudden a huge issue.

Well, I read this article in the National Geographic and the author quoted a logger who was commenting on environmentalists. I thought that was so beautiful. Who could have guessed a logger saying that for 50-40-30-20-10 years ago?!
