We continue discussing the Green New Deal, a 15 page document published by the Green Party. I'm not endorsing the Green Party, just borrowing their literature.
As usual, I talk about how the war machine is a threat to our very existence. I also ask what kind of people do Americans want to be on the world stage. Do we want to be feared? Or do we want to be appreciated? Do we want to be known for our kindness or our cruelty? Currently we are feared and quite often known for our cruelty. That needs to change, for humanitarian reasons, but also for our survival. We cannot forever be homicidal, as a nation, without also jeopardizing our very existence. We must learn to treat others as we would want to be treated.
