Our Way of Life/Death | Mickey Z.

When Barack Obama was first inaugurated in January 2009, he clearly and firmly announced to the planet: “We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense.”
I’d say this is one promise the Pope of Hope has kept.
Wake-up Call: Our way of life is a way of death.
“Our way of life” is based on violence, expansion, consumption, domination, and predatory capitalism.
Our way of life means 1 in 31 American adults is in prison, on parole, or on probation, yet we live in Land of the Free™.
It means the U.S. military -- the planet’s worst polluter and recipient of more than 50 percent of U.S. tax dollars -- can launch predator drones at civilians, but somehow we dwell in the Home of the Brave™.
