Personal and Societal Sustainability

The events of the 1930’s and 40’s in Germany embedded in me some deep values or insights: I must stick up for people who are being unfairly targeted by bigots; I need to recognize situations that may require people to leave a place that could devolve into diabolical consequences for those who stay.

The German experience and others have shown me how the fascist process unfolds and ends — I must recognize this pattern when it appears. I believe education is the critical element for the sustainability of civilization. Money in the wrong hands and without limitations can block that critical element — just as it neutralizes voting processes.
