Surviving Capitalism (Not) : The BBC Worries That Russia Has Military Control of its Own Coastline

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

“Russian Commander Warns US Could Control Whole Gulf of Mexico”

How is that for a ridiculous headline? You like it?

Well, it is just a little variation of a BBC headline today:

“Nato commander warns Russia could control whole Black Sea”
