I see an artificial duality here... as if the only choices are
big evil corporations with no concern for the future and
radical treehuggers bent on totally
dismantling the
high-tech civilization that gives all of us here a degree of
freedom and
self-expression unprecedented in
history.
We don't have to choose the
lesser of two evils. We don't have to choose between
stagnation and
environmental destruction. It's time that somebody start a new movement, squarely aimed at the
long-term survival and advancement of our dear
species. Or maybe it already exists, and is called something unglamorous like
common sense or the "90% of
the public who actually are more or less
reasonable".
