There is a phase of lamentation and sadness when one first becomes aware of the realities of what we've (humans) collectively created (from our ignorance). Seeing all that's wrong is a phase one goes through, and anger. Hopefully one then arrives at the place where it can be accepted as it is while working to make it better.

People are in whatever stage they are and that's okay. We need a place to articlulate everything we feel, and hope, so we can plan.
It won't be linear and pretty and in a neat box, but there will be people who will try to fit it all in a nice neat box - and that's okay. We need that too. Rules, Bylaws, whatever. There's room for us all.

We must change our culture. It must be unacceptable to allow graves to be dug up and the bones of the once living humans to be cast aside without regard. This incident is the perfect illustration of what the United States health insurance industry is doing. It is graphic demonstation of what the insurance companies do to humans who're sick and need their insurance benefits. They get services partially paid if they're lucky, until they lose their jobs, (not everyone gets well in 12 weeks) and how can a sick person C.O.B.R.A. insurance then?

And why're people sick? Because the coal ash is piled on the side of a river until "something" happens and then it's in the river, the drinking water. Smokestacks are belching coal's waste into the air . . . burning our eyes, our lungs. We must change our culture.
It must be unacceptable to allow this to continue! Make it unacceptable to propose nuclear as an option. NO! It's off the table! It was tried. It didn't fly or we wouldn't keep having the damn coal plants. Move on.

Change the laws . . . Make it unacceptable for a corporation to have rights of a human. The corporation has proven it is not human. The corporation has demonstrated it cares not for the bones in the graves. It just makes room for more to fill the vault, and pockets the money.

It's rubbing off on people. It shows in our society.

If we don't do it, who will?

It is the rise of humans. Not workers. Not environmentalists. Not reformers.

Power to Humanity. It is the Imperative.

Our country has fallen. The criminals are robbing the coffers. Several states are soon bankrupt.

If I don't start, who will?
