What to make of the world...
The answers have never seemed simpler... and the problems never so complex. I wonder why I have to drive everywhere, why we've set up an economy that works from debt, interest, and taxes... why we seem paralyzed when it comes to implementing new technologies...
I know, that if we wanted to, as a nation, we have enough resources to convert to renewable energy, to grow enough food for everyone, to build adequate housing. Cars are archaic, manual labor (the not-so-fun-white-collar-kind) is not necessary. One man and a machine could plant, grow, and harvest hundreds of acres and feed thousands. Most of the products we have out there are useless... everything is built to break. We've created this giant consuming machine that is eating up everything, our resources, our relationships, our time, our love, and our souls.
This is no garden of Eden, my friends... and yes, I know, you've heard it all before.
So what do we do???
Grow food, cultivate energy. Invest in Technology that minimizes labor. Acquire land. Get out of Debt.
