Reply #10: so many interests against the truth (sorry about this rant)

[dogindia]

Capitalism. Greed. Fear. Desire to keep one's place seemingly safe. Stupidity of the right wing. Blindness to reality

War in Iraq is dwarfed by global warming and peak oil and no one in government seems to care or have an idea. Energy culture and practice is so a part of the cultural world that to ask folks not to drive so much, to build smaller houses and cars, to grow their own food, etc.

We are basically f---ked unless we can create a serious revolution.

Election Fraud is a glaring symptom. Stupidity, arrogance, blindness of the right wing is a symptom.

Gosh I wish I could find a key. A symbol. Americans just don't want to give up comfort and habit and they are so dumbed down and so out of touch with even where their food comes from.
