Eating pets and lowering taxes seems to be the major emphasis of political talk these days. Little is said about the real problems ahead — out-of-control debt and climate. These are the two conditions that will prove to be the most devastating — the forces that could change everything.
Why do we shy away? Who likes looking at the slippery walls of the hole we have dug ourselves into? Too daunting a climb, rather argue the short-term small stuff and continue digging the hole deeper, hopeful of God’s mercy.
These two major problems are the result of one bigger problem — too many humans. We have overpopulated Earth’s Garden, causing resources to dwindle and trash to pile up. While man-made religions argue their God’s law, they all miss the obvious fact that it’s Mother Nature who is in charge here. And if you’re half-awake, you can sense her reaction to our party-without-paying attitude.
The hole we find ourselves in is the result of an antiquated economic system. One that brought prosperity via constant growth and expansion but is now petering out, leaving a few with all the treasure. Seems the paid proponents of the trickle-down theory got the direction wrong. Time for a redo?
