The diseased Land of Oz that our country has become is counting on us to be afraid of making drastic changes. Its corporations are counting on our desire to stay safe and secure within systems as they currently exist. We need to make choices based on our understanding that the status quo is not designed to keep us safe and secure--it is simply designed to maximize profit for corporations. And corporations, which are not people, are not capable of the complex thought that we can muster. Corporations focused only on profit don't seem to realize that they are designing their own destruction, even as they insist we keep them company as they crash to the earth.
We don't have to play according to rules devised by those who are incapable of rational choices. Our system has become insanely greedy. We, as individuals supporting each other, can make the rational choices. We don't have to wait for someone "out there' to make it all better. We just have to make choices based on a careful examination of what is really before us. We must keep up the activism, but revise how we live, too. We have options. We can change our world one person, one home, one street, one town, one state, and one country at a time. Don't wait. Begin.
