and I agree with your post, spot on.


...I am hopeful it is a wake up call for us ALL, that community isn't a nasty word, that yes, we can do more together than apart.

Humans survived through previous earth changes because of the fact that we are social animals. Nobody goes it alone for long and makes it out alive when Mother Nature is playing...and unfortunately, humanity may be in for another roll sooner than we think.

the pattern of fatcats taking all they can before finally breaking things so badly they don't work for ANYBODY and then the reasonable people put the pieces back together and put in place checks and balances against the evils of human nature that causes so much pain...Hopefully we will all learn how to pull together and give everyone a chance sooner rather than later. I'd be willing to bet money that the next big inventor or something is someone who is right now living in poverty, waiting for the opportunity to share...
