text: Unfortunately we are so tied into this strangled monetary/political hierarchial
  system! It's been this back and forth struggle forever between the dominant economic model and social/environmental degradation, just to get slam dunked time and time again and then rewarded with some skimpy scraps of "success". I know without our constant fight to hold onto any sliver of wilderness, it would have been over alot sooner. Anyway, always questioning what the hell makes any sense.
  
  Just have to vent, it's just extremely discouraging that we have so much history, lessons and potential yet most politicians are so oblivious to the greater whole.
