Thanks geoffrey. Unfortunately, Einstein wrote that over 60 years ago, and so far as I can tell, we have not heeded his words in all that time. Indeed, we have collectively sat idly by and watched as the situation got worse.

I don't think there's any doubt that the system of free-market capitalism is beginning to unravel. Through the physical limitations imposed by resource depletion -- not through any revolutionary action on the part of individuals, sadly. What concerns me is our inability to embrace this change and direct it positively. Instead we seem determined to cling to the remnants of the old system until there is no longer any time to control our destiny. At which point we will be faced with catastrophe.
