Sorry, Fern, I don't quite follow you. Perhaps this is because concern for earth is so dominant in my mind that I fail to state it enough. Yet I thought it was clear from the first and the last words of my statement:
Most important is... "protecting the earth for future generations FROM WHOM WE HAVE BORROWED IT".

AND:
"The Haudenosaunee order of priority could provide a framework and a schedule for the recovery of our sanity and the healing of the planet."
One of the things I most admire about the spirituality of the oldest inhabitants of the Americas is their awareness of the sacred character of mother earth.
In a lifetime, I've seen with my own eyes so much blind destruction, so much defilement by marauders who claim to represent "civilization". Makers of hell on earth.
Thank you, Peter, for understanding why I missed the foundational point of your comment.. The fault was mine, and we share the same dominant concern. With your thoughtful guidance, I recognized how you wrapped the earth around your thoughts.
A thin book you might enjoy is "Gaia: a new look at life on earth" by. James Lovelock first published in 1979, revised in 1987, reissued in 2000. Then follow the author's latest book, Revenge of Gaia: earth's climate crisis and the fate of humanity.
Jay, Thank you for this recommendation and for writing that it is thin I am reminded of the high stack of books here, still unread and calling for my attention.
Thank you, too, Fern. I recognize that age is beginning to tell on me, I have plenty of work on my hands, and sometimes, when I'm tired I find it difficult to state my arguments as clearly as I'd wish to.
Yet, this is a good forum for expressing and exchanging ideas that are not mainstream -- but should be!
