“Just as our museums have a responsibility to the public, the public has a responsibility to our museums….They are ours to shape. Active involvement in an institution such as the Smithsonian is an act of civic patriotism.”
How to Save the Smithsonian
The institution was born of debate and chance. Surviving today’s culture wars requires grounding its mission in open inquiry, shared inheritance, and the objects in its collection.

When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me.
Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

In 75% of US industries, fewer corporations control more of the business than 20 years ago.
That's especially true in the food industry.
Just four corporations control 54% of the fresh-cut salad industry, including Taylor Fresh Foods.
We're seeing in real time the danger of monopolization.

The fact that not only are we selling tracts of our beautiful national parks to INTERNATIONAL mining companies, but also bringing back (previously banned) murdering wildlife by cyanide injections hidden in bait to rid said parks of natural wildlife is literally making me nauseous from anger.

What some call "unused land" is often the last safe haven for countless living creatures. Wetlands are not empty spaces waiting to be developed. They are nurseries for birds, natural water filters, flood defenses, and wildlife habitats that cannot be replaced once lost.
