Getting hassled by The Man Mild-mannered reporter

  1. Steve Kozachik, as usual, nailed it… Neither the republicrats or the democans care about anything but power and are willing to lie through the teeth to get/retain it. What “values” or “principles” that they pay lip service to are ignored in the reality of this dying Empire.

    Unfortunately, at the end, there was complete unanimity of support for the growth lobby of the dying paradigm.

    As I posted elsewhere today:

    The “American Dream” as defined by the dying industrial growth paradigm; jobs, suburbia, cars, congestion, pollution and Planet Death, must be abandoned…

    I think you would better serve people by embracing a NEW DREAM; relocalized, steady state economies where basic human needs are provided for all persons and the WORK one does contributes to the community and is work that follows one’s passions.

    You can begin by decoupling “job” defined as what one MUST DO to survive in the capitalist economy from the useful “work” that must be done to provide for a sustainable future worth living in.
