Welcoming Womb

Hello! Hello in there? Can you feel me yet?... Welcome to the United States of America! The U-nited States began as an incubation site for humane freedom and justice, although our elders were a bit ahead of non-violent communication therapy, mind/body communion therapy, so we have run into some long-term monoculturing problems with linking up our justice walk with our multicultural peace talk. You have chosen to seed in what was our global hope for incubating ecological economics. I so hope you develop neither surprised nor disappointed in the U.S. rebranding project, now providing global laundry and enculturation services for other would-be sub-optimizers perpetually fascinated, and distractedly entertained, with anthro-centric adolescence, devoid of sufficient ecological heart to assure healthy root systems for EarthTribe's potential grandchildren. This U-benighted States of perpetual anthroprivileged greed and monolithic egohubris, now aspires to become Earth's monopolistic Monocultural Laundry Service, divesting of polycultural natural enrichment to thoroughly trash the exciting high risk market in anthro-centric extract-and-burn entitlements. If you thought you had landed within smooth warm womb of old school not Zero-Sum Win-Win Golden Rule Skin in a Permacultural Game Theory of regenerative life outcomes... well, good luck being born a polypathic alien in this Oppositional Disordered political and racing-apart economic monoculture, this DisUniting whitewashed policing State of fear we could never have or become enough, out to save the globe with arms of might now that we have proven how great we are with shooting down each other, in our homes and on our streets. Welcome, baby, it's a not-so-brave old world in our UBeNighted State.

I think I lost some "friends" with this one, and that's OK. I share an offended feeling about this way of seeing the U.S. At the same time, sometimes I do feel this way about a too-dominant economic and political culture, with overly-competitive assumptions, too quick to "draw ballistics". Do I think this is the whole truth of who we are and can be? No. "Uniting States of Wisdom" speaks with a more balanced voice about this concern. Feedback welcome.
