What do you believe?

Earth belongs to humans and is ours to consume as suits our fancy.  

or
Earth is our sacred home and it is our responsibility to be respectful partners.
Humans are by nature incapable of responsible self-governance.
Our nature embodies many possibilities, including the potential for responsible self-governance and democratic citizenship.
Those who differ from us pose a threat to our security and way of life
All persons are born of the same sacred spirit with an equal right to respect and the pursuit of happiness and that cultural and racial diversity is a source of learning and creative potential.
Those who align with us are the champions of good and those who oppose us are evil enemies.
We are all both victims and perpetrators of the violence inherent in the structures of Empire.


The effects of the dominator society – “The maintenance of a dominator system depends on violence or the threat of violence to maintain the extreme class division. No ruling class in five thousand years has delivered on a promise to eliminate either poverty or slavery and its equivalent, because to do so would mean the elimination of elite privilege. There is no elite class without a servant class.”
