Reflections on Politics, the Environment and Moreno

[edwschreiber at earthlink.net]

Hello All,

I received the other day an interesting email from one of our listserve members.
They sent the email to me directly, privately, not via the listsrve.

This colleague said, "Don't I understand this listserve to be just about psychodrama?" 
They went on to say, "Bringing politics into this mixes up my beliefs with the method."  They
said also that they worked with some republicans who might be offended by what I posted.

I've thought and thought about this.
In fact, went to The Source, so to speak.
I did some research in Who Shall Survive.

Funny - Dr. Moreno was one hell of a radical.  
He challenged the conserves of the time.
He brought the world into onto the stage and 
asked:  what shall we do?

I follow those footsteps, by choice.  

It is hard to imagine doing anything else!
We live at a time when the entire ecological,
biosphere is in a state of major change, perhaps
collapse.

We live in a culture where we - as Americans -
consumer 40% of the natural resources of the world,
and are 5% of the world's population.

Truly:  Who Shall Survive the collapse of the 
ecology?  And changing climate?

Why deny the reality around us I ask myself every
damn day.

Why not work as hard as I can to bring Moreno's 
tools to society in a way yet unrealized?

As hard, painful as it is to face the world, I must.
I am sorry if my posts offend anyone - but I am not
sorry for following those footsteps I feel Moreno
would have asked of me.
