    Yep. We rang the alarm bells 20 years ago. No one listened. I left the state, but the fact that this was going to happen was as plain as the nose on your face. People just didn’t want to see.

    People don’t want to do the hard work that it will take to live by a new paradigm. It will break the economy for years, but it’ll likely take that to change things. Eventually, we could build back something more in tune with our ecosystem.

      I don’t believe it would break the economy. I think it would open up the world to new economic opportunities. But, people like the Koch’s want to keep a stranglehold on what they got and they’re willing to pump money into propaganda along with idiots like Murdoch. Why convince the dumb population to change when you can make them angry and rob them blind.
