"Permits are granted, designated 'free speech zones' are conformed to and the targets of outrage are typically limited to Republicans," he says.

Always keen to look at the bigger picture, Mickey Z argues that "the humans - and all living things - that come after us won't care if we engaged in such 'dissent' or if we ate organic or drove a hybrid or switched to recycled toilet paper, if they have no clean air to breathe and no clean water to use. They'd probably just want to ask us this: 'Why did you stand by and let everything be consumed or poisoned or destroyed?'"

It sounds like he is pessimistic about the chances of positive change. "I don't know if people - especially in the West - will wake up and take action in time," he says. "In a way, I can't worry about it. All I can do is my part by putting my ideals into action via my writing, my public speaking and the choices that I make on a daily basis."
