It is remarkable that those who benefit from the current system - the billionaires - have managed to fool so many of us for so long. That they and their political and media lackeys have managed to get working-class folks to believe their promises and to vote for them. That we've swallowed the delusional Ponzi scheme of endless GDP growth and the glossy-magazine lifestyle for all.

I hope you're right, Ray - that this is the time when things change. When those who sequester more of Earth's finite resources than they could possibly need are seen for what they are - parasitic, and guilty of slow-motion genocide.
