A Better Greta

Greta Thunberg towers over the rulers she talks to. But why does she talk to these people? She knows they are responsible for our problems and that they are incapable and unwilling to solve them. Why not ignore the rot at the top and speak to the people directly? She’s abandoned the fashion industry and the cosmetic industry, two great polluters. How about encouraging her peers to abandon the soda and bottled water industry which pours as much carbon into the environment as millions of cars a year. Why not propose to sanction US products as long as the US military, the greatest single polluter on earth, continues to puke filth into the air and ground with their machines of destruction. Greta, talking truth to power makes as much sense as talking vegetables to wolves. Go, girl go! But not to the rot at the top, but to the people struggling with us.

”We were born to struggle for life.
We can’t choose someone to do it for us,
but we can choose to do it together.
In other words,
we can choose obedience or love.”
