Every person in America and around the world, due to globalization, is now acutely aware of the trouble we are in. In order to turn things around and prevent this from ever again happening again, we must look closely at and understand fully how we got where we are in the first place.
The blame falls on all of us. Some have had a larger role but the rest of us can't plead ignorance. The connection runs deep through every single facet of our lives. The problem you see is that we have all placed importance on the tangible side of life. Confusing the difference between what we want and what we need. Bigger houses, bigger cars and even bigger suvs are not needs!

In order to supply those bigger desires, we have stripped the Earth of it's trees. Trees needed by Earth to perform important proceeses. Dug massive creators to extract minerals needed to keep the construction moving forward. Tearing down smaller only to build taller and in the process disposing tons and tons of used building materials in our landfills. Most of which could be recycled. Every inch of land not built on or dug into is cleared and turned into huge commercial farms to feed a growing population. Roads are built and tracks for trains laid in order to supply the millions in the cities and millions more that live just outside those cities in "rural" communities.

You get the picture and you hear the news. We listen to the canidates blame the other and tell the voters what they(we) all want to hear! But, that is not going to take us down a new path and we must look a little further down the future path of Human existence... If there is to be one.
The single most threatening crisis today is at the very root of ALL others. The scary thing is that it has not even recieved a single mention from anyone during the elections! WE MUST START A SOCIAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM TO REDUCE THE POPULATION OF THIS PLANET OR WE CAN FORGET ABOUT A FUTURE!

I have posted several times and you will have to go back a read because I am tired of continuing to scream about it and have it fall on deaf ears! They will be easy to find by the titles, some are in "Cosmic Painter" others in "Faith or Fiction". The silver lining found in what is now happening is that we will be forced, we would never have done it on our own, to REUSE, REDUCE, and RECYCLE!
