Correct Action -- choices |
I didn't want to start a new thread, and while the following
may not directly relate to the orginal message, I thought
the title was appropriate.
The following letter appeared on the editorial page today.
I thought the sentiment was well expressed, and so I am
passing it on.
------------------------------------------------------------
How shall I invest for the future? My life, that it is.
Shall I watch my neighbors, inspect bags microscopically at
airports, spy on everyone's e-mail, keep dossiers, and watch
my back everywhere -- and pay legions of others to help me
do this? Should I discourage the discontented poor elsewhere
with bombs, even as the multinationals I have stock in
contrive to sell them more cigarettes and get more labor out
of them more cheaply?
Or shall I promote a Russo-Afgahan water pipeline, head to
Pakistan, adopt some orphans, build greenhouses, grow a
little food, find ways to put up ultra-low-cost housing,
teach literacy and then language and history, and dish out
as much healing and love as I can in the time I have left?
Which path would dry up the roots of terrorism more deeply
and for a longer time? I wonder.
