3. The economic interests

that control the politicians who pretend to govern have no intention of ever changing their behavior. That raises issues that should be considered in the light of psychiatry and global survival rather than just global economics and politics. The ALEC people are fools but they aren't stupid. They know damn good and well what the threats are to civilization from climate change, and they know they are the engine pulling the disaster train. The curriculum they have developed is for use at PS 42, not Exiter. So what's wrong? Are they insane? Stupid with greed and hubris? Suffering from personality disorders? Pod people? What? We need to find out, to focus on the individuals behind the acronyms and the titles, research them, and find out what's wrong with them. Then maybe we can treat or defeat them.
