LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Troubling trends in society drive contemplation

I have created a list of disturbing questions for the 21st century.

What do you do when ...

• children’s basic needs are dropped from the human species’ priority list?

• your government’s representatives have all been bought by corporations?

• the media are afraid to report with accuracy and full disclosure?

• your civic responsibilities outweigh your very survival needs?

• your tax dollars are used to wage illegal, wasteful and unconscionable wars?

• enforced laws and enforced poverty prevent you from moving forward progressively in any direction?

• your vote (with about the power of a piece of straw) is blown away by the wind or gathered merely for political kindling?

• complete strangers have total control over your life?

• when the people with the power to do, don’t?
