If what we are contemplating is not fair to our progeny we have a failed
event in retrospect
--Raleigh
GLOBAL FAMINE EXACERBATED by MEAT and dairy diet
Cows or Us. Nearly half to two thirds of land in our country as well as
millions of acres in third world countries are devoted to the meat and
dairy diet of the west. Much of the best land as well as the water and
two thirds of the grain crops are devoted to the feeding and pasturing of
cattle.
This is the height of opulence but also keeps the multitudes locked up in
cities for industrial fodder. Creating land scarcity is just one of the
side effects of meat opulence but the starvation of many as result the
robbery of their food security, creates a moral issue with the meat and
dairy diet. It takes a sixteen to one grain to beef ratio, nearly a ten
to one fossil fuel calorie to food calorie ratio and 8000 gallons of
water to grow a pound of beef. The agriculture of the planet is totally
stressed before climate change and the feeding of cattle before people
really needs to be brought to the front burner. Attempting to burn food
to run vehicles is even worse. So what do you tell your progeny when
they look you in the eye ask why you did not help to right this wrong?
See what you can do to help out on this. Empowerment is a group effort _
all the worlds' a stage...!

We need to free up the land, curtail the water use and return our food
chain to the individual family. The Peramaculture family food security
systems are a means to an end to the wage slave work for food scenario.
With climate change surrogate agriculture fail and anybody who hasn't
planned for food security will be in trouble. Dig up the lawn and get
started.

Some of the other survival strategies needed for a world in climate and
life support transition:
The support group micro trading system keeps the resources local and the
transportation of them down to a low footprint level.

For all on Earth to share the planet within the solar budget we need to
consolidate the amenity infrastructure.

Beginning on the family level by living three generation under on roof.

Creating millions of one hundred family support groups intentional
autonomous communities. http://raenergy.igc.org/VILLAGE.html
Eliminating the five city system by incorporating the cottage industry
with food security learning etc. at home where the need of the associated
transportation roads fuel etc. is reduced by two thirds.

There is a synergy or a weave where all on Earth can actually share the
planet on an equal level. But we must transcend from what is to what
ought. A projected plan in parable URL

How to kick start a dying planet. We overlooked the Archetype of fairness
in our stewardship of the planet. We need to make changes that will
benefit the unfinished work of the creator our progeny. We need to focus
on fairness, the universal standard of living, full empowerment, support
group villages, self government, communications, transportation, energy
etc. in such a way as to benefit all on Earth as well as empower our
progeny.

I may be singing to the choir, with these talking points, but there are
over six billion people who need attitude adjustment as you were in the
same need just a bit ago. They need this help because many of you did not
share your newly acquired awareness with them. If you have made your
contribution please use these points for more outreach_give them a piece
of your MIND.

For Gandhi, the function of non-violent action was to make the hidden
violence of institutions, of the "established disorder" visible; in the
same way, we have wanted to make visible the violence done to peasants,
citizens, science, democracy, and to the simple duty to govern. The
French legal system has finally understood that so that we may all grasp
the consequences.

Franklin Roosevelt said that the domination of our nation by large
corporations is the
definition of fascism. http://www.rense.com/general63/ssi.htm
-Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the
fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first
existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much of higher
consideration.
-Abraham Lincoln
Under the placid surface [of the economy], there are disturbing trends:
huge
imbalances, disequilibria, risks -- call them what you will.
Altogether the circumstances seem to me as dangerous and intractable
as any I can remember, and I can remember quite a lot.
Paul Volcker, Former US Federal Reserve Bank Chairman
April 10, 2005.
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security,
unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you
would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a
tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these
things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional
politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible,
and they are stupid."
-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1952
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises
in moral philosophy: that is the search for a superior moral
justification for selfishness."
-- John Kenneth Galbraith
"Fascism should more appropriately be called CORPORATISM because it is a
merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini (from
Encyclopedia Italiana, Giovanni Gentile, editor).

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can
change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - - Margaret
Mead
Let us experiment with laws and customs, with money systems and
governments, until we chart the one true course - until we find the
majesty of our proper orbit as the planets above have found theirs& And
then at last we shall move all together in the harmony of our sphere
under the great impulse of a single creation - one unity, one system, one
design.
Roger Bacon
