“The forbidden truth is that we are living by a set of lies which are necessary for short-term profit, at the expense of human physical and psychological life and global environmental integrity. We are living in a system where power ensures that the requirements of profit take priority over the requirements of living things-including the need to know that this is the case. Consequently our freedom extends as far as, and no further than, the satisfaction of these requirements, with all else being declared neurosis, paranoia, communism, extremism, the work of the devil, or Neptunian nonsense. I can only find answers, you can only find answers, the world can only find answers, when you and I as individuals escape the pacified herd, escape the system of control around us and in our heads and recognize the two voices shouting louder even than the massed might of propaganda – the voices inside our desolated hearts and outside in the desolated environment.” ~David Edwards

  1. I keep hoping that we will evolve economically to a level of social entrepreneurship. Where social responsibility becomes part of the economic process. Where the utilitarianism of the “bottom line” will be eradicated. Although more and more consumers are becoming aware, without responsible producers, responsible consumption is limited. Peace, love, hope, xx
