Not Too Late
Its easy to kill a monster while its small. Its very hard to get rid of the darn thing once its full-grown.
Because we haven't dealt with the shadow side of life, the problems have gotten pretty big. The tentacles from the military-industrial complex, Wall Street and the industrial meat lobby have entwined themselves in more of our formerly-democratic institutions, and its become a little bit harder to pry them out of our government institutions.
Should we despair that its too late? Should we whine and give up hope?
Well, about a month before the American Revolutionary War, Patrick Henry said:
“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year?”
If not now, when? Like Patrick Henry asked, when will we be stronger?
We missed the chance to kill the monster when it was still small. Let's act before it gets much bigger.
