 The Joe problem boils down to powerlessness concerning the right thing to do at any given moment; in a competitive sense, like this here is right, but only right compared to this here, and that there is more along the lines of the right thing to do, but only in the sense that it is relative to this over here, and that goes on and on.

There is this scale and on this scale I could be doing things that preserve life as we know it the best that I can do on that scale, and then, on the other end of the scale, I am unknowingly working to destroy all life everywhere as best as can possibly be done by one person in this time period, and each step I take, being misdirected, is another step in the wrongest direction, due to my ignorance, or due to my powerlessness to know better from worse.

When I hear about someone growing tomatoes and packing the excess for later use, then that appears to me to be a right as can be, on that scale, as far as I know, right up there in the right side of things along side of nurturing copies of human beings made the old fashion way, not GMO, test tube, type, beings.
