Is it Time?

Is it time to resurrect this blog? 

It is October 2019, the upcoming presidential election is on. We have had tRump for the last few years, after having Obama for 8 years. And where are we as a nation, as a planet?

Some people say that things are okay, some people are saying things are improving, others say that this is the best it can get. 

And some people are warning that 'The House is on Fire.' 

Under republican and democratic administrations since Reagan, we have seen continuous wars; the environmental crisis expanding; weekly mass shootings; violations of human rights; animals going extinct; plastic in the ocean; increasing military budgets; lack of universal healthcare, corporate and political corruption (and the list continues). 

The democrats blame the republicans. The republicans blame the democrats. Meanwhile both parties work together to ensure that government policies benefit corporate profit, while ignoring the harm those policies have on people and planet. We still don't have 'liberty and justice for all.'

 If somebody thinks that the status quo is acceptable, they certainly don't want change.

This blog is for people who think that the status quo is not acceptable, that we have to do better if we are to survive. And we don't just want to just survive, we want to thrive.

What is it going to take if are going to thrive as a society? This discussion is to be continued at a later date.
