Immoral governments tolerate desertification and land salting, concreted highways and city sprawl, which take more good land permanently out of like production than the loss of territory to a conqueror. Immorality of this nature is termed “progress” and “growth” to confuse the ignorant and to supplant local self-reliance for the temporary ends of centralized power.
Its a powerful statement. I plan on sharing my thoughts on this later…. wanted to get it out there first!
