root-causes

The root of all desire is the realization of NOT HAVING IT!

Everyone is so locked into the current way of doing things, they never see the larger picture or other, more responsible and efficient possibilities. A REAL economy is always wanting to limit consumption/manufacturing as much as possible by assuring the strategically "best" and "adaptable" productions at all times, while keeping balance with human needs and public health.It is a total shift in intent than what we have today.

According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the definition of the word __ebellion_ is __n act or a show of defiance toward an authority or established convention. Extensions of the expression include to fly in the face of danger and to fly in the face of providence, both of which carry a sense of reckless or impetuous disregard for safety.__ecause we did not grow up with our fathers, we became reckless with our lives and disregarded the lives of others as well. Therefore, the problem is not the gangs, so to speak; rather, it__ the conditions that create them. It is the dismantling of our homes and marriages that create the right conditions for gangs to flourish. If homes could be put back together or prevented from falling apart, then these symptoms could be, root cause eradicated.

So many problems, however infinitely varied they first appear, turn out to be matters of money. I can't tell you how much this offends me.

I spent the beginning of my focus on activism by doing what most everyone else was doing; blaming other people and institutions. Don__ like the war? Let__ blame the president, congress, or lobbyists. Don__ like ecological disregard? Let__ blame this or that corrupt corporation or some regulatory body for poor performance. Don__ like being poor and socially immobile? Let__ blame government coercion and interference in this free market utopia everyone keeps talking about.The sobering truth of the matter is that the only thing to blame is the dynamic, causal unfolding of system expression itself on the cultural level. In other words, none of us create or do anything in isolation _ it__ impossible. We are system-bound both physically and psychologically; a continuum. Therefore our view of causality with respect to societal change can only be truly productive if we seek and source the most relevant sociological influences we can and begin to alter those effects from the root causes.
