Is there no end to bold-faced arrogance and unbridled avarice of thousands of greedy little kings of wealth concentration, their bought-and-paid-for politicians, their many minions in the mass media?

Somehow the human family has got to find more effective ways of communicating about global threats to environmental health and impending dangers to human wellbeing that are being perpetrated before our eyes by the self-proclaimed "Masters of the Universe" among us. Good people with 'feet of clay' are not saying loudly, clearly and often enough what they know to be true.not speaking truth to power.

Politicians are posing for the public and pandering to those with great wealth; investment brokers are devising pyramid schemes, skimming millions for themselves and "breaking" the central banking system of the human community; and the mass media is turning a blind eye to the entire mess.

Such woefully inadequate examples of leadership by many too many "Masters of the Universe" need to be named, shamed and replaced.

The family of humanity could soon, very soon, be confronted with an economic and/or ecological wreckage of an unimaginable kind; but, because good people are not reasonably and sensibly communicating with one another about the outrageous behavior of the rich and powerful, the chances for taking the measure of certain ominously looming global challenges and finding adequate solutions to them are diminishing day by day.
