"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

  --  Dwight Eisenhower

Thats why we need to work our way into not supporting companies like General Electric. They are responsible for creating destructive weapons of war and are now at the forefront of the green movement here in the US. Give me a break. Its complete #$%^!?"%$#@&*!!! Lets make bombs and promote global warming afterwards...yeah I'm sure you profit driven miserable folks care about our planet. Pushing energy efficient mercury bulbs, thats the answer...really? They are not trying to be green, the only thing they are trying to sustain is an outdated power grid and making sure you don't get motivated enough to figure out how to live off of the system and discover a truly sustainable paradigm out of a profit driven system. We lock people up for petty crimes and don't really make effort to solve crime but, we certainly demonize convenient problems, create more and more prisons and then sugar coat useless/counterproductive/destructive actions by stating that we are creating jobs and protecting our economy. Its saddening to meet so many good people, be such passionate proponents of regressive convention. People who are responsible for genocide (not just of human life) weather through economic or technological 'advances' get to walk around and get praised for innovative business practices. And don't think for a sec this is just limited to corporations - some religious, governmental, educational, financial, watchdog groups, are all in the mix. Don't love and idea that doesn't love you back, dysfunctional relationship are called dysfunctional for a reason. All change starts with you. Thanks for the inspiration Suzanne.
