When one can actully take their own thinking back to the age when these images were taken, and the thinking of the population of the times, one can see the inevitable path to facism and Corporate control. It is interesting to see the shift from industrialized production of necessities, where things are built to last, in a limited number of models to fit the inflexible production lines, to a type of industry that produces short runs, that produce slightly modified, yet essentially identical products for consumers to express their individuality.
Consumerism replaces actual productivity and education, and the ego takes over, leading to the destruction of community. Big ego's produce too many chiefs which contradict each other because they all want to be in charge, no matter what their experiences are. Eventually, stalemates occur, and the system breaks down with every individual work alone to do their own thing.
Real community demands a cooperative method of control that takes into account every individual and make sound decision that benefit the whole. At this point in time, as members of the Earth community, man has disassociated himself from the Earth, and no longer feels any kinship with the millions of organisms we share the biosphere with. When mankind can return to days when he can marvel at the lifestyle of a Centipede, Cockroach, ant, spider or Corn Earworm, maybe then balance will return. Until then, man will destroy his fellow creatures until their is nothing left but a sterilized planetary hell of his own making.
It's 11:59:58 on the age of man, and man better get with the program soon or it will be too late.
I like Obama, but he is proving once again that we do not live in a 2 party system. It is the illusion of democracy, and we all have to look at the facts and watch out for our own interests and take care of ourselves. We cannot be directed to think as a heard and depend on the patriarch to save us. The only real change will occur when the citizens no longer behave as predicted by the current computer models, and are no longer willing to be good consumers buy loads of crap while the earth dies around us. The corporations will need to fail miserably, and the wealthy elite will need to regroup and figure out the next game plan for the next century.
Be on the alert for innovative new ways to generate fear, consumption and more poverty and control, and refuse to fall for it. They can take property, but they cannot take your inner self unless they kill you, and even then, they don't really take anything away, because the soul lives forever.
