"Do you believe this culture will undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living?" I ask that question to people all over the country and no one ever says "Yes." And if you don't believe that this culture will undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living, what does that mean for our strategies and for our tactics? The answer is, "We don't know" and the reason we don't know is because we don't talk about it, and the reason we don't talk about it is because we're all so busy pretending that we have hope." -From Derrick Jensen's Book "Endgame Vol. 1: The problem of Civilization"
