"'The tree is known by its fruit.'" Matthew 12:33 (NRSV)
What are the fruits of 40 years of Neo-Liberal Economics and Generation X.
The world is more divided than it has ever been.
The disparity between rich and poor is the greatest in history.
Work conditions have regressed to the point where workers have no job security, no penalty rates, no holiday pay or sick leave, and no power in the workplace.
The big corporations own everything.
And we wink at corruption.
Evil is cool.
And Fascism is the fashion.
Enough!
We need a new way.
A way that respects every individual.
A way that observes justice for all.
A way that empowers everyone not just the rich.
A way that tells the truth and respects the facts.
A way that protects the vulnerable.
A way that is based on love not hate.
