It's well past time for some plain facts about the situation that America and the World finds itself in. Think Green is the new catch phrase craze that is in vouge. We see and hear about it in almost every direction. It's mostly a mixture of ego, fluff and hype and mixed in with a healthy fear of the unknown.
You must ask yourself that even with this supposed new conciousness of the Earth why are so many people going hungry, why so many people are becoming homeless and why is the earths life support systems being corrupted and wiped out at an accelerated rate?
We as a nation are presented with a 9 trillion dollar debt to debtor nations who may call on us to pay up at any time now. We have a country run by a bunch of Barney Feiff's(Sorry Don, you did a fine job of acting) holding onto some nukes saying "It may be our debt , but it's your problem", (that is, until a changing of the guard takes place). Yep folks were in a heap of dung. This debt, was brought to you by voodoo economics. A system that knows the "cost" of everything and the true vaue of nothing. It is the science of leading economic indicators where the cart leads the horse. It's not a science of appreciating the value of our resources, it's rather the game of "Whats ours is mine and what's yours is mine". People, you really need to understand this, the debt owed to the Chinese is nothing compared to the one owed to Mother Nature. As you see, our Mother carries a real big stick and we are all about to get beat.
Time's they are a changin, for sure. There are answers to all this but it will take some serious agreements for them to have any effect. In order of priority we need to ;
1. Start with the truth. Allow the children to hold court over the vetting process of discerning the truth in all matters. They are not vested in decades of lying to themselves and society.
2.Change the educational system from its present form which is totally irrelevant to the situation we find ourselves in. Empower the students to become aware of their capacity to think by asking them to become aware of our world. This can be accomplished by performing a resource analysis of all things natural and man made.That is to take an inventory of all natural and human processes. Present and past. As these evaluations take place create the new mathematics sytems to understand the interrelationships between cause and effect.
2. Concurrent to this evaluation process expose the low hanging fruit to be realized in changing to a system of Natural Capitalism. In Nature all energy is free and as water it continually seeks its own level. In nature, resources are inherantly all used to support the next step in the processes of life's business. There is no waste in nature. There is a very efficient sytem of recycling everything to continue the cycles of life. We have to stop murdering those systems and work with them to enrich life's processes.
3.Distributed generation and distribution of resources in nature is a local business model for good reason. We need to mimic that system by growing and purchasing all our food, building materials, clothes and other goods locally and develop these systems as quickly as possible. This local support in creating community will head off the impending social and natural disasters as the economic depression continues to spiral. Do you really want to continue to argue about this until you are on the street also?
4. Collaborate amongst communities like nature does in its global interactions such as the weather and water systems. So too we can create systems of travel and exchange of goods and services as they are needed to support necessary interactions amongst communities. Systems of modeled efficiency.
This will be continued and we ask you to share your insights, for now I will leave you with the questions- have you ever wondered why you are here in this place and time and do you have the capacity to discern the real truth of your existence? Do you support life in it entireity as nature must or will you just continue to look after your own needs? Are you an empowered individual with capacity to help make positive and substantive changes that are needed or are you just another consumer battery paying for your next recharge?

YOU are a consumate THINKER! AND your thoughts are PRICELESS! Your essay here on the "GREENING of the MIND" and it's interconnectedness to the world we inhabit could well serve as the foreward to Tom Friedman's soon to be released new book Green, the next Red, White and Blue (this without even having read it).
It is indeed an honor to be associated with one so gifted!
Let's continue to craft this understanding so that it can be shared with the little ones among us allowing them to truly inheret a world which will be better then they found.
What a legacy concept and profound gift this would be.
To the work at hand..........
Best,
Jim
Thanks Jim,
I just had to tweak it a bit this morning.As much as I enjoy communication thru writing. I would really enjoy going back 500 years to find the lost treasures of communication with the spoken word. The disapearance of those means of communication, communication that carried meaning and value of our world that was based in truth and had a symantical essence not found in communication(or educational) systems today. I believe that as children find their creative muse this form of communication can and will begin to re-emerge. The truth is ever present carried on the winds of time across the dimensional divide.
This is the driving force to create true educational systems, this is life's longing for itself longing to communicate it's hidden treasures thru the continual blossoming of new life.
