Dear Mr DiCaprio:

I am writing to you today from the dark side of the Doomsday Clock.

Is it too late? Can all we do now is just mitigate the inevitable upheaval we legitimately expect: this annihilation of innumerable species and the irreversible damage – already underway – to our planet. Our place in the universe is now tenuous at best.

I believe I have ideas which may go directly to resolving this dilemma of global proportions.

As a professional writer and newspaper publisher since 1978, I have witnessed with profound discontent the downward swing of civilization and there it is having proceeded from my generation and now lurking at my doorstep.

Yes, we can save this earth. There is one word which, with the leadership of enlightened individuals, can awaken people to having hope again. We can enjoy enthusiasm again; and even innocence if we could but implement this word. If we can just drive this peg in.  

This letter is not intended as a tease from some hair-brained egomaniac but a query really as to whether you would enjoy a dialogue with a man of conscience who is enduring daily the misfiring of the media with  distractions to which the programmers are witheringly wed. Creating conflict and grief and relentlessly exposing young minds to this crude display in their movies, TV shows and throughout the print industry is precisely not what the doctor is ordering. We are as a people being betrayed and action now needs to be taken.

The resolution(s) I have in mind involve big ideas and in the working of them, courage. But those few righteous leaders among us may be given a wider audience crammed with people hungry for information of a nature which will make them feel useful and allow them to enjoy – with continuity – participating with Creation. Let’s satisfy their beseeching; and enjoy the thrill of that: meaningful action.

If interested, get back to me.
