I know exactly how you feel. But it goes further. No-one seems to share my exact opinions. I am all alone. Worse still, my opinions are not what they were a few years ago, or even last week. So not only am I alone, I am confused. :)

A bit more seriously, it seems to be a characteristic of the times. Back in the 60s, we leftists would argue among ourselves, not nicely very often. But there was the presumption that we were somehow on the same side. Now I work on anti-war and 9-11 truth stuff. Left to right, veggie to Christian fundamentalist, peak oil to it's an oil company conspiracy. I think the same thing is true on TOD to some extent -- get away from peak oil and it's a thousand different opinions. Well, don't even leave out peak.

My opinions and directions for what I regard as good politics, cultural development and infrastructure investment have hardly changed due to peak oil but I am unfocused. Too many new ideas at the same time and most of them relate to each other. I am trying to package a few subsets of them and post them in different directions where they might do some good to see if they have some effect and if some reaction comes back to me. I am 36 so I hope I will get a number of decades of these intresting times, provided I dont get unfocused enough to forget to live in the here and now.

I do not care if people share my exact opinions, it is enough if their actions are compatible with the actions my opinions should lead to and preferably those given by a very large set of other opinions. I do not have the perfect answer for everything and its most likely that nobody has it.
