Trying To Make Change

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Albert Einstein

What exactly is supposed to change if:

• bailout money is given to the same people who made bad business decisions in the first place
• billions of dollars are being pumped into the same growth-is-the-only-way economic system that imploded to begin with
• we continue to measure the strength of our economies based on the growth of industries we need less of or use non-renewable resources
• doctors and pharmaceutical companies receive their income from people being sick
• there has to be a them so we can be us
• there are pro-life advocates who murder doctors performing abortions
• people look to answers from God while believing God last credible communication was more than a millennium ago
• it’s okay to create life that would not exist without the use of technology but its not okay to end the of suffering of a person who requests assistance
• taking your own life is a crime only if you live
• generals and ‘commanders in chief’ never participate on the front lines or live with local civilians
• doing the right thing is considered remarkable
• we think we can permanently control the weather and other natural forces
• companies believe they have generational longevity by being leaders in non-renewable resource industries
• we attach our identity and self-worth to what we do instead of who we are
• every religion has their own version of a single God
• our leaders engage in war expecting the enemy to play by our rules
