We The People. What We CAN Do!
Below is a letter I wrote to Michael Moore today.
Hey Michael,
I hope this finds you well. Thank you for continuing to put so much energy into changing the energy. It certainly can happen under the right set of circumstances and there will certainly be a tipping point. The question is, what solutions are we looking to implement ourselves versus waiting for the unreliable ones to elect to use reason and inclusiveness in their decision making? That is likely not going to happen unless there is some kind of shift on the part of the people to demonstrate the reality of how numbers can work in their favor in a few ways. If we continue to wait and expect others in high places who've proven to be unreliable to act on our behalf, we deserve everything we get or do not get. It ain't gonna happen without us going all in.
I just had an epiphany (maybe). The only way to even things out, is to have enough public support and activity to gain control of the system or watch it burn in blazes before the new conscious dynasty can begin.
We need a class action lawsuit against every product manufacturer who makes and uses plastic containers, but expects us dummies who've been convinced that the responsibility lies outside of the geniuses who quietly make trillions in the background while we squabble with total buffoonery over which containers can be recycled and which cannot, etc. We need a high powered national case that goes international to hold accountable the actions that have gone unchecked for way too long with our very lies in the balance because of it. The US governing bodies have had their heads buried in the sand as their palms get greased by these plastic making fat cats who could give two shits about the oceans.
Let's get that fucking money from these assholes and take control of this country. We need to buy this bitch back the same way it was taken from us. Rally everyone around ending hunger and homelessness via litigation and demonstrate that when wealth is distributed and basic needs are met, the health of all of us will improve quickly and we can move into a new paradigm. I know for sure that this can work if we unite in creating the venue for accountability and rallying the collective to agree on this one thing that begins to get us to agree on so much more while creating exciting new jobs around "clean-up" and "re-purpose" based industries.
We can be building homes, roads, transportation, body parts and so the fuck on. None of this material needs to be discarded. It's ALL usable for just about everything going forward. This is going to take a massive agreement. You have their ears. This is doable. I know you can pull this shit off. I think it's a game changer with you at the helm.
Yes We Will! Yes We Can was total bullshit. Of course we can. D U f*king H.
Thanks for being a beacon.
Much love to you,
Mark

With this immense amount of money from the multitude of lawsuits and supporting public investment, a publicly held corporation can be developed around this new industry that eventually employs everyone, while making everyone a stakeholder in the survival of their own planet. We must get majority buy-in on the promise that profits will be shared with the guarantee that all will receive basic needs and a free education specializing in engineering and hard science in order to get enough people to align. This must appear to be the next revolution or evolutionary shift. This is something you can make happen. My friend Suzan Beraza made a well received film called Bag-It. She will be a guest on my next episode. Suzan was the guest on my first episode.

Just wanted to get the rest of that out of my system. It feels correct in my chest.
