working system which is balanced and equitable for all. A peaceful changeover, done one step at a time. The "market" needs to exist to fill human needs, not to line the coffers of the few.

The health of the earth must be given high priority, so your generation can live. The oligarchs must be stripped of their self-conceived "right-to-pollute". They are self-destructive parasites, content to destroy the environment we all live in.

Your generation must create leaders who can see into the future the consequences of their actions. And you must begin listening to your wise inner voices, ignoring your short-term selfish driven desires. A real expansion of awareness within each person must occur so you are able to fix the damage created by the many generations who selfishly ravaged the world.

Listening. Awareness. Thoughtfulness. Intuition.
