as a student of Anthropology, believe me I have been studying the ancient cycles of civilizations and how they not only "warred" themselves to death, but they comitted ecocide as well...
we're not gonna get through this without some big bumps and losses, I feel that too.
and maybe my question is more about the planet and our civilization as a whole rather than a specific country. good point...
The bigger the planet's orbit...the bigger the scope and wider the lens needs to be.
Thanks for helping me with that perspective shift as well
