I think it's time we built a brand new Mt. Rushmore.
Something future generations can see, and take some time to evaluate who we are today as a democratic society, that has been bought and paid for, and taken over by large corporations. Here is what is so badly needed.
We need to build a new Mt. Rushmore, and on this mountain, for everybody to see, is the most influential elected people in our government at this time, that could have made a difference to reverse climate change, but refused. The climate change deniers. Those in Religion that have refused to turn to science or to admit Science not god has the power to reverse the damage. Those that are running the corporations that are preventing our elected officials from doing anything substantial that could reverse the damage. Each country could create their own "Monument of shame"
Its so late in the game, but really, these people are the most wealthy people on the planet, and they live like kings, knowing future generations are really going to suffer.
The future of agriculture as we know it, is in jeopardy. Electric cars, plug in hybrids, hybrid cars, could be federally funded at much higher amounts, creating a market that makes it less expensive to buy a plug in hybrid, than a gas powered car, if elected officials weren't forced to deny this smart spending. We could do so much now, but these people who carry so much influence on so many levels, lead a protected, silent, hidden, privileged life. We need a new Mt. Rushmore .
Some hard and fast climate change deniers, have decided that science and reality have caught up, so they now say "Climate change is happening, but we don't know if its' man made" That is a sleazy way of protecting the petroleum corporations. That is a sleazy way of not passing any legalization that would force those that are the largest contributors of what is causing climate change.
Its not
Yes, The top ten climate change deniers, or those that refuse to admit we have created the damage that is causing climate change. Their heads carved in stone, for future generations to see. For their family's to carry the shame, forever.
We let these same people to freely continue their anti science, climate change denying stance , free of any shame. So they continue.
It's time to start to shame these same people who we elect to do what s right, not to do what petroleum companies tell them to do.
That would be one fun kick start.
