Prohibition of life itself is being demanded by goverents, this is a huge experiment waiting to have the same disastrous consequences as for alkahol?
The thought of an ever increasing national debt is OK ,along with an endless supply of money and all Natural resources, fails to be understood and acted upon..
We must now grasp this moment to fundamentally change the economic and Democratic laws to place NATURE at the center of all decision making.
All Natural resources are finite, and all living life on the planet is vulnerable, including mankind, you and me, we must NOW start the reversal of Climate Change and Ecocide.
