Is it time to admit defeat?

Sorry, guys. It must be like living in the apartment upstairs from a meth lab.

I'm not going anywhere.

A little bit... ;D
Now many of my fellow Canadians are saying "We should be a meth lab too!"

I'm glad to hear that, Jay. It wouldn't be the same without you.

LO, I'm not leaving either. This site has been the best resource for Apollo, and I have learned a bunch of information concerning my favorite space operations.

Thanks, BK.
I do believe we are the best resource for anyone with questions about the Apollo hoax theory or the history of the space program in general. I guess I'm just feeling like we can't compete with the armies of disinformation peddlers that exist now. People are so brainwashed to distrust experts that nothing we tell them is getting through to them.
And to be clear, I'm not suggesting that it's our fault or that it's up to us to save the world. We're just a small group of fire fighters with garden hoses in the middle of a raging global forest fire. But I wish I could believe that people will snap out of whatever spell they're under before it's too late.

You absolutely should. I used to blog before Facebook/Twitter came along and "killed" blogs... but I they're making a comeback. They're good for organizing your thoughts.

Thanks for the endorsement!
But I'd just like to mention the reasons I promote Ecosia and Lids4Kids in my sig block:
- I like Ecosia for the idea that people can make a change for the better simply by changing the search engine they use; and
- Lids4Kids is a grass-roots community organisation which provides (a) a simple process for both households and businesses to reduce the waste of small plastic products which are hard to recycle at the individual level but easily recycled in mass, and (b) an easily scalable process any community can set up and expand.
If we can't rely on governments to lead action against climate change, then it's going to have to be led by individuals and communities. Action is a good antidote for despair, and I'd like to think that at least some people who see these organisations mentioned will be motivated to change their behaviours and/or start similar organisations in their communities, and promote them to others.
