Can't Help But Agree

Commentary by Roger Erickson

Nothing we can't fix - easily - but ONLY if we increase our rate of challenging our always-obsolete thinking.

Shortly before his death, over fifty years ago, Clifford Hugh Douglas surveyed the landscape near Aberfeldy in Scotland, turned to a close colleague and said:

  “... the time is approaching when we shall have to challenge this monstrous and fantastic overgrowth of industrial expansion – fundamentally.
  Really, you know, I personally can see nothing particularly sinful about a small dynamo; but this thing we've got is past a joke. If it isn't a joke, it is Satanic.”
