Thanks for your input @skapaneas! I agree that we need balance, and I for one am very much looking forward to bypassing statism to get there.
As you say, this is the only planet we have - to me, it is imperative that we redirect our focus from activities that destroy the earth towards those that build it up. I disagree that nuclear energy is the way, as it's not going so well for Fukushima.
Humanity we are still infants in a greater time scale
I agree! We have used our "superior intellect" towards death and destruction, and as you say it's time to reign that in. I call for a revolution in values, and @onceuponatime reminds us that the revolution won't come from one single authority that has the answers. The revolution will come from decentralized individuals waking up, throwing off the status quo, and choosing something more beneficial to all!
