A Gathering of Eagles

If I had two minutes to talk with the President, here is what I would say,Mr. President, glad to have this outprponity to speak. I will be brief. Our country needs a change in direction. That means we need new ideas, different policies and bold programs of action because humanity is about to be presented with gigantic, perhaps converging global challenges that are already visible on the far horizon and could soon be confronted by the human community, challenges that result directly from three distinctly human-driven activities. Rising per human consumption of scarce resources, rapidly increasing absolute human population numbers worlwide and unbridled expansion of the manmade global economy, when taken together, appear to be quickly approaching a point in human history at which time the relatively small, finite, noticeably frangible planetary home God blesses us to inhabit will no longer be able to sustain life as we know it or human existence. Between now and some colossal ecologic or economic wreckage unregulated human consumption, production and propagation activities now overspreading Earth can be expected to precipitate the massive extirpation of biodiversity, the deleterious dissipation of natural resource, the irreversible degradation of the environment and the dangerous diminishment of the capacity of Earth to serve as a fit place for human habitation.Mr. President, please, carefully consider immediately limiting the unrestrained growth of human consumption, production and propagation by placing a cap on per capita consumption, by stemming the tide of rampant big-business expansion, and by encouraging the family of humanity to adopt a one child per family policy?Thank you, Mr. President, for hearing these proposals for necessary change from unchecked human activities that will shortly be seen as patently unsustainable to human activities that will be conducted in sustainable ways, ones consonant with the preservation of biodiversity, frangible ecosystem services and Earth's body.Sincerely,Steve Salmony
