Wish I knew how to blog, and could find a chemically safe home to live in, from where to blog!<br /><br />Delighted to come across such a (r)(r)evolutionary essay! and filled with such just plain common sense! <br /><br />I do have a couple questions for ya. First: In the sentence , did you not mean to write, "ABOVE all things, we must prioritize..." ?<br /><br />Second: You write, Where do we draw the line on what degree of harm constitutes a criminal act?, as it could be argued that harm is caused by the person who buys packaged food and throws out the packaging which then goes into a landfill, or by the person who wears perfume which offgasses into the air and harms nearby breathers. It is obvious that dumping chemicals into our water and air is criminal, but where on the spectrum between these two "extreme" examples do we call the harm that humans cause, "criminal"?<br /><br />I actually do have a third question I'd love your feedback on. Yes I agree that part of what needs to happen is for each individual human being to be accountable. Whether corporate honcho, lobbyist, or everyday human, How best to stimulate the urge to hold oneself accountable, or even to acknowledge that such accountability is desirable on a personal level, is the question, I think, yes?
