Global Sustainability vs. Local Sustainability IS a Whatcom County Election Issue
The lines used to be so clear. On one side were free markets, free societies, and openly elected representative governments, normally defined as democracy. On the other was the force of totalitarianism choking off individual initiative, private ownership of property, and cynically providing a ballot box with but one choice, normally defined as Communism.
You can see both sides from here and there is time for reflection. I have been a single working woman, a wife, a mother, a care giver to family at death’s door. I have seen the demise of a 100 year old family business and the start up of new ventures, the settlement of estates some well done and some disasters. I have moved far away from family to live in Whatcom County. I have lived through many idea trends that seemed important at the time; from free love of the sixties, to the feminist movement of the 70’s, to Earth First of the 80’s, and the multiculturalism of the 90’s. I am now old enough to consider what was really important.
