But, first we have to understand and acknowledge that our current 'unfettered capitalism and worship of the green god' is why we are here in the first place.

It is this system that gave us that tyrant. It is that system that gives us the inequity and bias in our very fabric.

It is a failed system, but the people who profit from it are going to prop it up and let us all die rather than allow it to change.

And, we are letting them.
