One particular comment recently painted the most clear-cut picture [imo].

Should be a billboard, ...could be a row of oscillating placards:

~~” And I'd be willing to bet after your 9th fingernail was pulled out, you'd swear that you planned 9/11. On a stack of Bibles.”~~

What do you get when you cross a Puritan with an umpteenth generation-cowboy-oil-baron-legacy-to-the-bureaucracy & his esteemed benefactors?

I don’t know, but it’s daunting as heck and commissions a lot of Jingoist sound bites while usurping lives and livelihood like it’s the last natural resource

on Earth to be tapped and plundered into oblivion.....

...Sheeez, ...what of our grandchildren?

One can only hope this NOW is the time that

will listen-to-the-screams in a way as to usher in

a New Renaissance of human understanding.  Either

that or we’ll all [those fortunate enough anyway] .... be

living in that Maui neighborhood with Woody Harrelson, ...BUT

it’ll be more like a featured zoo exhibit...than a more than logical

sustainable living off of the preposterously perpetuated & prostrate...grid.
