“The
earth could be nearing a point at which sweeping environmental
changes, possibly including mass extinctions, would undermine human
welfare, 22 prominent biologists and ecologists warned on Wednesday.”

Realpolitik [Today's News Poem by Khakjaan Wessington, May
4, 2012]
Imaginings
obscure the wretched eye;
Corrupt
the preconceptions, recall, ear.
Wherever
there is truth, the lies must fly.
They
nest and then disrobe, thus intertwine
As
opposites in opposition's tears.
They
complement the Yin and Yang, combine
The
equal with unequal, all and one,
Or
one and if it's zero, better you
Than
me: that is the rule of life my son.
“Before
the Great Recession, I would sometimes give public lectures in which
I would talk about rising inequality, making the point that the
concentration of income at the top had reached levels not seen since
1929. Often, someone in the audience would ask whether this meant
that another depression was imminent.
Well,
whaddya know? ”
