Dang. I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds pretty grim. I am starting to wonder if maybe this is the start of Agenda21 or something like that... Too many different things fit, and I didn't really buy into those conspiracy theories, I mean I knew there were some people wanting to move in that direction, I just didn't think it would happen.
And now... This is like a perfect storm heading in that direction. Maybe all the conspiracy theorists were right, maybe they are going to depopulate many, let nature reclaim much of the world and set up a technocratic cashless control grid for the rest of us... Freaky times. I hope it doesn't get that bad, though, I've no idea what's going to happen.
Thanks for your concern, same to you! And I hope you get to see Az again some day!
