Balancing the negatives....
|
What do you say we stop spending billions monthly on wars and preparations for wars - these have all been, without exception, wars of choice - and put the money instead into making our country a paradise for its people, instead of making other countries a hell for theirs? What do you say we acknowledge that ordinary people in our country have a RIGHT to decent health care BEFORE private insurance companies have a right to overcharge us for protection they then find as many ways as they can to NOT deliver? And if there's doubt - an open question - about WHETHER OR NOT human activity may be about to DOOM THE PLANET to the gradual extinction of life as we know it, why don't we spend some of the money we save - by NOT enriching bankers and bombing helpless populations - on rearranging our common life so that we perhaps protect our planet, rather than ravaging it? If we err about global warming, but act as if it were true - no harm done, that i see - other than, as you said the other day, cleaning up pollution, making the air clearer and sweeter. But if we're NOT wrong....we will have the thanks of all the generations to follow us for allowing them...to follow us. Just a thought. :^J |
