Our society does not limit itself to destroying Life by pillaging our resources, slaughtering the environment and treating animals with contempt, it also saps our sensitivities and our discernment. The treatment meted out to people with disabilities is symptomatic of the general state of mind.
Terrorism is worrying. But more fundamental is the attack on our health by our way of life, pollution and chemicals. More insidious: the regression of human relations.
The nation's books are faltering, poverty is moving in and we're submerged by taxes. Extremism and selfishness are taking root.
The influence of multinationals is based on the goodwill of certain politicians and our choices as consumers. We can change all that. Without revolution. Everything is ready for the building of harmony
Going beyond the Right/Left cleavage is one step, putting forward a complete, innovative and realistic plan for society is vital
The end result of politics is not economic growth, but sustainable well being. We can make this possible by sound management of public funds, new democratic rules, organic agriculture, education focused on well-being, a respectful economy, active ecology and preventative health. |
