RE: Ways We Protect Our Communities
Our gaze is so important. Even giving people air time can be detrimental to the global and local communities we want to build. You know where I give my time at @naturalmedicine of course, that kinda speaks for itself.
Sadly, in real life, the political voting options are pretty blah. Seems you vote for one narcisstic weakling or another.
I am a big believer in boycotts, for example, not buying brands who use palm oil. When I talk to the students about it at my school, they think I'm just a mad hippy. It's always self interest over the environment, apart from the odd few kids who are strongly principled. I presume they'll grow a moral core, but not entirely sure when, or how many of them.
Loved this article - @mountainjewel told me to read the sociopath/psycho one, but I've only just gotten time - headed that way now.

Great suggestion of boycotting unethically sources brands. Actually you may really enjoy my post from today on Native Americans codefying their traditional food methods to be on par with US federal law on their reservations.
Interesting thing with young people. In a certain portion of their childhood they are all generous saints with keenly attuned senses of right and wrong. Then somewhere in their teens they all seem to become incredibly self-absorbed and emotionally cut off from themselves at the same time.
Thankfully, for many it is just a face, and in adulthood the moral training of their early years reasserts itself. Keep up the good work!
Ha, yes, I agree - teenagers are funny critters. They get so self centred for a while there, and then they emerge quite decent for the most part. I look at my son and his girlfriend being all vegan and recycling and so on and it was only a few years ago they were grunting in a fug of teen sweat in their isolated rooms not caring about anything. Lol - bless em. Ooh, really interested in that post! I'm going to head off to work now, but I have lots of thoughts racing around my head! haven't had the impetus or motivation to write anything at lenght for a while, perhaps I will this week.
