Critical Reminders

The faith that capitalism is the only viable democratic economic system we have experienced, or could even ecologically imagine, MotherTrees to resilient complex forests, EarthMothers to a resonant democratic society Reminds me of the faith that retributive punishment is the only viable governing political system we have cooperatively owned and experienced, or could ever theologically and resonantly manage and compassionately imagine restoring healthy peace, Reminds me of the faith that continuing to do the same competitive things, make the same win/lose mutually feared assumptions, will eventually result in some different and less EarthClimate overheated and critically pathological outcome, Reminds me of Einstein's faith that repeating competing business as usual default unreasonably defines left v right handed and footed and bicameral hearted and headed insanity.
