I know, it's sad that so many enter 'abstract mode', because really, if they cared about themselves and their family they should change their priorities! There's nothing LESS abstract than our relationship to the planet and each other.
It's made to look abstract because the powers that be are so focused on meeting and manufacturing artificial needs. The environment is sidelined because they don't want to change the system. But it's the public who can do that in really ordinary ways; in the here-and-now by making different choices.
I guess our choices are limited by what we think we need though...
Damn. I was getting all socialist and utopian for a sec...
