History for the Wistful Present & Future Generations
        Giving Thanks: A Native American Cultural Tradition

Governance, Selling & Making Products & Services with Beauty & a Bright Future
Think of these History Lesson Series like the human body: The brain and nervous system are the legal structure “Governing” requiring electricity and a complex language to communicate. Transportation (arteries, veins … AI farms, rail, rivers, airport, roads) distributes sugars, fats, proteins for Commerce, Industry & Technology (muscles, one of which is the heart), all to flex within business & property rights’ (skeleton) boundaries.  The West’s crowning achievement is its diversity: forms, hair, multiple skin colors creating Beauty: parks, schools, hospitals and churches. The issue for the Future is that our governments, human bodies and minds are primitive and slow changing, while technology and knowledge accumulation is surging, and we have been careless with the Earth.  If we were to give all publicly owned lands in the West –National Park-like protections (“National Parks with biodiversity” … not “National or State Forests monocultures”) and change our destructive and inattentive behaviors, the West could be a Beacon of Light for the World.

Casandra
