Unser Lebensstil ist untragbar
Kurzum: Wir können unseren industrialisierten Lebensstil nicht aufrechterhalten.Amerikas politisches System ist wie die französische Aristokratie vor der Revolution...
John Kenneth Galbraith has written a brilliant, mordant book, The Culture of Contentment, about the reasons why America is incapable of constructive change. He compares today's American political class (those people who vote and involve themselves in politics) to the French aristocracy before the Revolution. Everybody knew that the situation was insupportable, and that eventually there would be an explosion, but the immediate costs of doing something about it were so unpalatable that everyone decided to do nothing and hope that things would somehow work out. We're in exactly the same situation here and now.

Wir müssen unser Leben zu lebenswert vereinfachen. Wie sehr es vereinfacht werden muss, hängt von der Anzahl der Menschen ab - 6-7 Milliarden sind zuviel.
