"AS THE CROW FLIES": A Snake Is a Snake

     People are generally good. Most mean well. Governments and corporations, on the other hand, have different agendas. They usurp the will of the people if it does not suit their bottom line. Their power and influence must decline or the Earth will be a shell heap. People end up doing the will of the moneyed and the powerful. Instead of doing the will of the people, we end up doing the will of some rich and powerful person who wants control of more than they need. We should not be following these people. They lack balance. Governments and corporations cause destruction, war, desecration and death and may even end life on this planet. Power and greed are so big that its net will spread anywhere. It is not right that the many should be made to follow the whims of a greedy few. You should not take the snake across the river even if the snake promises it won’t bite and poison you because it is a snake and you know what snakes do. If you elect a person to a governmental position, you know what to expect [ Obama]. If you buy the product from a corporation, you feed the corporation and eventually starve yourself. 

     This world is dangerously close to the precipice and we cannot be wimps. Forget the flags. That’s just colonialist mentality. Remember the Earth. Remember the indigenous. Remember the corn and the squash, beans and bumblebees. Remember the water. We’re ALL in need.
