Depression: Current thoughts.
On a personal note, I have battled Major depression Disorder for about 12 years. To force my self to do something can be simply impossible. However since March I have had some relief. I could go a week or more without giving suicide serious thought. I am heading into another low. you get to recognize the symptoms. Hopelessness, Sadness, Guilt, Frustration (anger management). Profound lethergy, (If you know someone like this, before you call them a lazy bum, judge also what is behind it.) I feel those thoughts myself. I am the worst of the worst in every category. (symptomtic of Depression). "You should take me out and shoot me." Is a common conclusion in my mind. People with Major Depression have a hard time believing there is some other solution to a problem besides death. A psych worker once told me, "dying *may* be a solution to a problem but it is a permanent solution to what probably is a temporary problem.," I think that thought was a line that helped keep this ship tied to the dock.

Pipelines a net BENEFIT to Caribou?
Ever read a story that raises a hew and cry that absolutely contradicts what you have seen with your own eyes? 1985,86 travelling on the oil and gas roads in NE BC. The caribou were prolific. Not bothered at all about pipelines, or traffic, sometimes we had to slow to a crawl to get through. Now understand, normally these caribou would winter up in the high country. Why were they wintering down below? Simple. Caribou need to see enemies afar off. They stay in the high country for that reason. The pipelines and the long straigth roadways became *PREFERRED* by the Caribou. The feed was far better, plus with long roads, they were able to satisfy their safety needs. I was forced to conclude the pipelines were a net benefit to the Caribou. After a few years, it occurred to me that my experience could have been the results of the infamous wolf cull. That Watson contemplated on a river bottom, and Suzuki openly mocks.
