Winter 09-10 Twenty Years from Now, You Will Lie to Your Children by David Michael Green
Like a pop single from 1962 (or 2002, for that matter), it didn’t age very well. It’s astonishing that this transparently frightened man was the leader of the free world for eight years, and was given so much license to commit so much destruction. But, then, nothing seems to define our era quite so much as license. We give ourselves license to incur fantastic levels of national debt, and hand the bill to the next generation. We give ourselves license to invade other countries on the most patently bogus of pretexts, bringing disaster upon them and us. Or at least some of us, that is, because we also give ourselves license to allow a tiny fraction of the population to carry the entire national security burden for all the rest of us.

Alternatives. . . subverting the dominant paradigm one relationship at a time. |

Alternatives Magazine works (and plays) with the ideals and activism of the emerging culture. We are a forum to express and/or locate the holistic ideas, practitioners, products and events that support a life well-lived. Alternatives for Cultural Creativity recognizes that, from the context of "dominant" American society, an integral culture is emerging. Concerned with values of spiritual transformation, ecological sustainability, holistic health, political and economic justice, self-actualization and authentic expression, enlightened parenting and truth-based intimacy, we are open to the ecstatic possibilities. Alternatives Deadlines to submit ads are February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 (or shortly thereafter). Regarding health-related articles, always consult your health care provider before beginning any self-treatment program.
