We live in a civilization that is sustainable and just (I realize now).
There is no need for NPR and other news media to report systemic flaws, since there are no flaws to speak of. The system is working well.
Economic externalities are really a pretty good way for corporations to make more profit at the expense of the larger society, future generations and the larger community of life.
Higher profits is a good thing. It means shareholders have more money to spend. And the businesses can grow larger.
Now I don't know *what* I was thinking with that 'share natural wealth equally' idea. To try to make our society reflect some kind of equal distribution of natural wealth would have been a lot of trouble for nothing. We probably would have been worse off, since things are working so well just as they are.
I feel better now. The stress was really getting to me, what with thinking we needed to change society, yet knowing that changing institutions and people's minds is inconvenient and even rather difficult.
What a relief!
