The Short Version

This is the short version of some of the issues and problems that affect our lives today and probably more tomorrow. The point of this "Reasons Why" section is to persuade you, if you are not already persuaded, that our tendency to think or feel about one issue at a time won't/doesn't do, because it deceives us into thinking things are simpler than they are. Grouped together in one place, the dimensions of our reality and the issues are awesome, intimidating and, we hope, not ignorable. This list goes over it once, and lightly.
