To Whom or What Do Our Lives Pledge Allegiance?

Do our lives on our Journey pledge allegiance to the "Almighty Dollar"?   Transnational corporations?  My country right or wrong?  My political "loyalties" right or wrong?  My race? My gender?  My limitless freedom without responsibility?  Or do our lives on our Journey pledge allegiance to the best ideals of our country and beyond to Solidarity, to the Common Good, the well-being of all, to a consistent life ethic, to freedom with responsibility to do good, to treat all of our neighbors (human and non-human) as we would like to be treated, to build a culture of Life, not of Death, to build our one interdependent Earth Community as we Journey together?

  1. Many things and opinions are confusing, but one fact is for certain. We sink or swim on this planet together.

  2. It's the Almighty Dollar for a lot of people, but at the end of the day if that's all you have, it's a pretty empty feeling.
