Government Acc9ztability O 12 ° In the absence of accountability there is no obligation to obey. Unaccountable refusal by elected officials to acknowledge consistent recommendations made by every independent commission ever convened to study the issue, establishes the United States government as an outlaw "rogue entity ", motivated by other than the well -being of the Earth and its people. 4.7.30, 31 Unwillingness by the U.S. government to acknowledge prohibition's causal role in symptomatic escalating violence, crime, alcoholism, hard drug abuse, critical habitat encroachment, spouse and child abuse, environmental toxicity, etc., renders Cannabis prohibition statutes immediately invalid, by reason of being commonly recognized as sociopathic to the point of extinction. Individual Responsibility Time is increasingly limited in man's artificial economy of scarcity , as there is so much waste of it and other resources. People have less time to actively care for their Mother Planet, who needs more and more healing. All of everyone's time, added together, is the very limited number of days and hours that we have left to prevent toxic materialism from precluding environmental viability. Otherwise reasoning people have been mesmerized by hypocritical "bread and circus" political programming, (i.e., "Forrest Gump ") served up by an economically biased, "drug war" propaganda machine. Blind trust in the self - serving assurances of a financially impacted elite, and threats of arrest keep most people intimidated, or too numb to do anything, except struggle to keep up with the herd.

Years from now, All Our Relations, saturated by chemicals and dying from radioactive contamination, won't care who smoked 'marijuana'. What lame excuses will we give our grandchildren when they ask why we wasted precious time on expensive "drug wars" and toxic energy, when agricultural fuels could have been peacefully, sustainably harvested by every culture on Earth? 34 Conscious Evolution "I can say without the slightest hesitation, and yet in all humility, that those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know the meaning of the word 'religion'." Mahatma Gandhi Through advanced studies of, conscious relation with, and an ever deepening appreciation for Nature, my individual evolutionary process prioritizes active global healing over excessive material accumulation, and moral responsibility for Truth above everything else. Attempting to consciously evolve the "essential connection between spirituality and ecology" 2 leads me
