So much good in this piece, Mr Coyote. Thank you. Our trajectory has not wavered much- I gave a valedictory speech in elementary school about money not being everything 65 years ago! Even then some people didn’t like to think about it. Corruption carries a wrong preoccupation even further. We can pity those who had no training in ethics. We can feel compassion for those who know not what they do in regard to human kinship and stewardship of the land, and who look away when injustice is called out. But we are all in this together. Who can deny that?
