I left my red flag at the green semaphore The Red Herring of Fighting the System "The World is in Decay"; leads people to the wish to "Fight the System" at the root of this misery. There are some who say that it will make the system stronger if you try to resist it. The system as it is perceived is without doubt a false and bad influence. Perhaps it is wiser to make the System irrelevant, by ignoring it or going around it or by pushing it out of the way. This has the advantage that all your energies are available FOR your cause rather than against some red herring. That some Systems cause a lot of trouble may be clear to anybody who has read more than one history book. But what is the System? Is it some evil conspiracy? Is it a manifestation of Old Nick 'O teen or some other real or virtual bogey monster? In our present troubled & interesting times it has been said that history is finished. And well it may e if it is true that our collective folly is having an impact on the workings of the weather sentiments around the world. If that is the case and if this green house or other unpleasant effect proves to be irreversible then it would have been pointless to write these words. Let us create one last hope not yet forlorn that some new era may bring love and harmony and give people, everybody, the space to respect, not only each other, but also their fellow creatures and the very world which brought us all forth. c:\earth-ed\the-book\gls\system
