How much more will the people take before the incompetency of the US government forces them to stand up and take it down???? I suspect that Jefferson's suggestion "all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed" is almost too representative of US citizens. The insanity of people who (for the most part are reasonably attentive and intelligent), continue to blithely accept the ever-increasing entropy of their own lives collapsing into depressive chaos, demonstrates the effectiveness of the mind virus that is capitalism.
This week i have read dispatches from people who are all too willing to complete ignore reality, substituting the talking points of Exxon for the actual text of the IPCC report on global climate change. Why they are doing so is beyond me, unless we ascribe the value of disassociative cognition to their thought processes. They know that our way of life is killing the planet, but see no other alternative they can accept other than using whatever means necessary (war) to maintain their levels of convenience and personal consumer habits. And i am not talking about people who are conservatives nor fundamentalists. No, i am describing relatively enlightened liberals, who feel completely justified in promoting classic liberal values through massive capitalization of their lives and "property" at the expense of the planet and most of its living populations. The "me first" fight or flight paradigm is obscuring the impending real collapse of the human life sustaining ecosystems, encouraging people to look at cheaper gasoline prices as a sign of good things rather than the intentional deception of the energy giants to hide their gargantuan 2006 record breaking profits.
If you can't see the forest for the trees, these folks seem to accept cutting down all the trees. Then they won't have to look for the forest at all, but rather stay in their greenhouse gas emitting sealed environments and watch the world go by on the telly. Well, the only good news in this regard is that the planet will make the choice, sooner rather than later, that the homo sapiens experiment wasn't all that successful. Better to dump one whole species than sacrifice the other 97%.
