It's Time To Accept That Capitalism Has Gone Past It's Use By Date

So many aspects of our, once relevant, economic operating system do not work as they are supposed to any more. The real question, however, is how many systems must fail before the rest of you recognize, and accept this fact.

It is understandable, certainly.

The one thing this toxic monster still does only too well is put as many as it can, on an ever revolving basis, to sleep. The sleep of the fixated. The sleep of the addicted. The sleep of the richly distracted. The permanent sleep of the burned out; having been too successfully marginalized, for far too long. Just to name a few types of the excessive, consumptive anesthetizations that the thing sucks us into now. Even as we move Zombie like on our treadmills of ever more debt, increasingly terrible conditions, and the impossible need to keep running faster just to keep from losing any more ground.

The sleepers must awaken though, just like Paul Atreides' father, the Duke, in Dune made clear. They must or they will perish. And only time, and the choices of so many, will tell the final tale of this story

[Post Note] Perhaps the most toxic chemical isn't any one chemical at all, but the insane system that puts profits above all else, and so has no trouble at all in creating, or using, ever more toxic substances, towards that end. J.V.]
