"The only way to make the game more even is to resurrect society. We need to realise that we are all responsible for the fact that our neighbours live shitty lives. It's time to make things better... yes it is, but it's also time to work together in this game so that we can win for a change."
"The aim, the ultimate aim, is a liveable world. A world in which life is pleasant for the majority of people and there is no advantage for those sybarites who choose to hoard their wealth like ancient dragons and to sequester themselves away from the world so that the shitty world is hidden from them. Instead, we will squeeze the shittiness from the world and make it clean and sweet and new."
That is connected, in a Span Ows roundabout way, to Earth Day (follow the link through the flag) Strangely enough there are 2 Earth Days: equinoctial Earth Day is celebrated on the vernal equinox in March and the second is today "Responding to wide spread environmental degradation, United States Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin called for an Environmental Teach-in or Earth Day to be held on April 22, 1970. (Gaylord Nelson? Was his father another of those that despised English history ?) Over 20 million people participated and it is now observed each year by more than 500 million people and national governments in 175 countries." This he did 'to demonstrate popular political support for an environmental agenda', back in 1970; apparently, coordinated by the non-profit Earth Day Network, Earth Day is the largest secular modern-day holiday in the world.
