BETWEEN THE DEPLETING OZONE LAYER UP IN THE SKIES AND A BURGEONING DUMP OF PLASTICS DOWN HERE ON EARTH, MANKIND IS TRULY CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA?
Here is a UN Report just out: https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/10/1103692 Currently, plastic accounts for 85 per cent of all marine litter.

THE GLOBAL WAR BETWEEN REAL VIRTUE AND VIRTUAL REALITY
What this Infograph suggests to me is that the mental state and maturity of 85% of American population ranges … on the scale of psychological imbalance … between infantility, pathological addiction to video-gaming and advancing mental retardation.

Social Media is now a human affliction of pandemic proportions
