Democracy


Keeping the Game of Life Going...
(Sustainability = Democracy + Ecology + Foresight)


What does democracy have to do with sustainability?

History has proven that without a democratic (of the people, by the people, for the people) sort of government, the people (or person) who consider themselves to be in power will sooner or later start creating laws and/or enforcing existing laws in a way that provides short term benefit for them at the expense of the long term survival of the rest of the populace.

Long term survival of the populace (and all its interdependent species and geologic structures) is what sustainability is all about.

Democracy depends on:


[Sustainability] [Caring] [Information] [Action] [Foresight] [Democracy] [Ecology]
