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 (heart, arteries, veins) distributes sugars, fats, proteins for Commerce, Industry & Technology (muscles, also the heart), all to flex within business & property rights (skeleton’s) 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.  We could end the Rocky Mountain Floristic Species’ Extinction Parade by changing publicly owned Land Use in the West while trading business exploitations for more beauty, less carbon and poisons in the air and water, and a cooler climate.
