Disparate thoughts.

In 5th grade (catholic elementary school) I remember hearing reading that we lived in a country with limitless resources. Why did this stick with me for so many decades.

Believe in the free market. There is no such thing as the markets do not properly price all costs.

We were not born into this world, we came out of it. Not to understand the effects of pollution not only on environment but also on ourselves is frightening and may well be catastrophic.

The powers that be have the little people arguing amongst themselves, and against rational solutions to our problems. Last year on the NYC subway during one of the innumerable delays that the recent fare hike was going to pay for the MTA employees health care. Universal health care is a realistic option.

I watched Panic, the HBO documentary on the 2008 financial meltdown. How can you not believe that markets need regulation.

We need better messaging. Remember the Powell Doctrine.
