We have the ability to build out a renewable and sustainable energy grid but choose to retain obsolete and harmful types of energy production in abeyance to oligarchical wishes.  How much of US military action around the globe that includes Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, to name a few, is to “spread democracy around the world” that is a euphemism for protecting oligarchical interests.  Use of military action rather than good governance seems to have promoted movement to the brink of war.  Too many nations have nuclear arms, including the USA.  Climate Change is still the existential crisis of our lifetime.  How ironic if a nuclear war was the remedy to Climate Change caused by over-industrialization.

This heat can come from hot water that is converted into steam via a flash tank—or in rare cases, directly from geothermal steam—end of treehugger info–

This is where you get heat from the Earth’s core, which some have calculated is hotter than the surface of the sun. According to Treehugger’s Kiah Treece, it’s estimated that heat located within the first 6.25 miles of the Earth’s surface contains 50,000 times more energy than the world’s oil and natural gas supplies.–end of treehugger info–

We should discuss the notion of democracy as the reason to challenge Russia, or any other nation, with what we know about the hierarchy of capitalistic USA—-https://portside.org/2022-02-23/inside-american-medical-associations-fight-over-single-payer-health-care      –The A.M.A., and physicians generally, are no longer the most dominant force in health politics. Many of the most consequential negotiations over the Affordable Care Act involved the pharmaceutical, hospital, and insurance industries, which command formidable lobbying operations; the rise of these other power centers is yet another explanation for the profession’s new openness to greater government involvement.–end of portside info–
Commercial control of government seems to be fascism.  Russian oligarchs should be viewed skeptically and so too USA  oligarchs.  To do anything less is simplistic and naive.
US oligarchs tiresomely remind We The People that freedom isn’t free.  Surely not with oligarchs in control.  The system is running fine for them, while the majority of humanity is expected to pay the price of their benefits.
Who can’t recognize as metaphor the notion of the environmental devastation and loss of human life in order to defend commercial ideology by oligarchs, in the very straight-forward expression by human beings, of concern for nature and people as symbolized by stories of protection of psyche?
That industry and oligarchs can’t hear the poetry of people and nature doesn’t mean that oligarchs and industry have the right to harm either.
Along with Climate Change, many people oppose the imperialism of the USA under control of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  Use of the wealth of our nation should be to enhance quality of life for We The People rather than for imperialism.  Some people vote accordingly.

I———————–We can do better———-That “we are a 2-Party system” is a fabrication of the Republican/Democratic duopoly and spread by MSM.  In FACT the majority of voters aren’t either registered Democratic or Republican.  The censorship about this info must be envied by bureaucrats of the Former USSR and their simplistic style of 1-Party elections.  

Regardless of which character sits in the Oval Office, We The People have work to do to maintain principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  Several items to challenge—*We need the integrity of ranked-choice voting so voters won’t feel compelled to “hold your nose and vote”*Censored debates must be stopped.  The Democratic/Republican duopoly pretends to legitimate debates in what is nothing other than another campaign show.  Independent debates run by uninterested sponsors such as The League of Women Voters, must be restored.  (Access www.debates.org to understand the extent of duopoly control).  The so-called Debate Commission is a corporation to promote the Democratic corporation and Republican corporation, not to inform We The People*Challenge and stop gerrymandering that is a trick especially of the Republican branch of the duopoly.*Stop voter suppression by political Parties, and especially confront and stop Party suppression, which is the over-arching approach to voter suppression.  Party suppression seems to have been the responsibility of the Democratic corporation*Promote by law ranked-choice voting, so we won’t be told again, by D&R duopoly, to “hold your nose and vote”
If these issues are handled, our next elections can be honorable.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
