Free Earth Now
...I repeat these not just because the context calls for them but also because they strongly bear repeating, as the subject matter itself did in the first place...
Anything that inspires creativity, freedom, and the
luxury of personal fulfillment threatens Authority.
Anything that promotes intelligence, individuality,
originality, and subdues easy acceptance of blinding
conformity threatens Authority.
Any means of propagation of information that cannot
be dominated, controlled, or suppressed threatens
Authority.
Mental and spiritual health, social and personal
maturity, and but of course; expanded awareness;
anything that promotes these threaten Authority
as well -or should I say threaten Power...
Nothing or nobody should be allowed to insinuate
themselves between anybody and the planet. Our
planet is freely for us all. Global Domination
is the dream of small and foolish gluttons for
Power who believe people should be controlled.
...In comment there, I added this link of Amy Goodman interviewing
Chris Hedges on his then debuting book,
American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America...
...Well, it's been war on everything for years now; the dollar, the country, the planet, people, women, reason, civilization, you, me, any future, you name it, they're agin it. Nothing new. Fretting is surely futile, certainly so, however -it's as impossible for any person to ignore as it for any person to immediately address. It's not just the blood of American troops we pump into our gastanks, it is Earth's own...
Free Earth Now? Certainly. But still, at this point, it's damage control...

Enjoy your life while you can, because nothing we are doing right now will likely stop climate change in time. That is the terrifying message from Sir James Lovelock, famous UK scientist and inventor. Global heating will proceed. All Congress does is pass a cap and trade bill which won't even cut emissions until about 2040. The bottom line is that climate change is coming and we will have to possibly move and adapt.
