People and planet before profit. This sounds reasonable since everything else stems from our lives and upon the planet we live yet there are too many in power who see profit as their priority and people and planet as less so. How is that possible? Greed and selfishness as their goal while lacking empathy for humanity and our environment is how. Why do we let these people maintain power? The media and the wrongheaded politicians lie to us about the truth of things. They scare us into accepting their illusion for us. Too many of us do not take the time to inform ourselves nor stand up for what is right. So in the world of those who see the survival of the fittest as their ally, we are getting what we deserve by keeping them in power. They dare us to fight them and when we don't for various reasons they continue their assault against civilized society and intelligent planet management. Given this equation, the only real chance we have of reclaiming an enlightened approach to living is to finally say enough of this squandering of human and natural resources and fight back against them regardless of the perceived cost. We will never gain in this world waiting for too many who won't fight for us. We must put our own capital, thoughts and actions into the contest and then protect it. It is always a gamble to put oneself on a side of a fight but this fight for humanity and our environment is the right side to choose. We all must validate our duty to our democracy and our expectations of that democracy by taking a stand. Otherwise we will end up being ruled by those who don't and won't respect our opinions or our hopes. None of us will live forever so fighting for what is right, not only for ourselves but for our future generations, is as noble a way to fight to the end if that is what must happen.
