Ebonkim, I thank you for posting. It is always good to hear a little outrage. I am assuming you are younger than I. When you get older instead of reading the same story 10 times you have read in 100 times. You tend to get a littler colder and calloused. You are in such a small percentage sadly. Most good people as you say are inactive or more likely just active in the wrong place. I have spent my entire life trying to figure people out. I don’t know if it is cowardice or selfishness or just stupid ignorance. Whatever it is we can’t change it. We just have to hold onto the belief that people in general are good. I personally have come to believe that it is two things; one sociology, two history. I have written some comments on Caitlin Johnstone’s post I hope you will read them. They may help add some insight into what I believe to be our only viable future. This is a Collective Intelligence enabled by modern technology. In my new world Human Logic and Reason are the most valued attributes of man. If we are able to harness the power of these and develop a work in progress as you might say. If we could create a collective endeavor to come to more complete, rigorous conclusions. Conclusions shielded from the negative influences of Individual failings. Then perhaps we could create a better society. One in which the good attributes of man and women are redirected and channeled more productively for the benefit of all.
