Who Is Running Your American Life?

Who runs your life? Is it politicians or big business? Who really controls your living environment? Is it the ones we elect or the ones we work for? And who is destroying the Earth? Is it our failed politicians or the globalization and internationalization of business? Has anyone ever stopped to ask themselves how we can combat global warming by reducing emissions in America or Europe while increasing emissions tenfold in China and India not to mention the wild west of pollution now occurring in so-called developing countries. See globalization, or the so-called global economy is what is destroying the earth, it’s not the industrialization now occurring but the new and future industrialization. Additionally, globalization of the economy is also causing food shortages, oil shortages, and water shortages. So if we really want to save the Earth and make the world a better place for the next generation we will start to stop developing so much of the undeveloped world. Well so much for the green conciseness, big business will never go for that. Big business has gotten the Alexander complex and it has hit every field and area of business. Every business wants to conquer the globe and be the best seller in the hottest new market but what they are really doing is super-heating the race to the bottom and the potential destruction of humanity. Mass travel has created the ability for epidemics and disease to spread within hours instead of weeks. Industrializing and manufacturing in developing countries is creating additional pollution and waste while also wiping out the trees and plants that absorb carbon waste products.

We have countries now which cannot afford to feed their children even though they are top producers of wheat and rice. How can humanity justify a top rice growing country maintaining a population of starving children? Is being the biggest seller on the block really worth the price of our eternal souls? Should we really look the other way when certain countries defile human rights and create toxic products but we do business with them because they do it more cheaply than anyone else? Maybe the human race has already been destroyed and what we have left are now soulless morals-less zombies all walking around trying to outdo and outsell their walking dead competitors. Quit asking about global warming and ask yourselves and your neighbors, ‘What have we become?’
