The 'value system' of a Political Institution is different from the 'value system' of the Economic Institution.

The differences between the 'Political' and the 'Economic' are obvious to everyone. Yet, we continue to be 'ruled' by the economic. Its 'obvious nature' has become glaringly 'evident' in the 'World Issue' of 'Global warming'. Millions of Human beings are being effected by horrible weather conditions. Of course, that is not a 'direct' political issue. But, 'indirectly', the 'economic' value system is implicated. Any attempt by a Political System to 'correct' the political posture so as to 'disengage' the Economic system driven by Profits and Big money is immediately quashed by the 'Economic System'. Please notice, that I do not say, "quashed by the Political System", because the decisions are driven by the Profits Motor, not the 'Equality and Freedom' motor of Democracy. One has to ask, Why? Simply, because 'Profits', instead of the 'Equality and Freedom' motor of our political system drives the Nations decisions, in spite of the fact, that they may be 'contributing' to the weather conditions that are effecting the Global conditions directly effecting all Nations and particularly, the poor Nations. Of course, 'weather' doesn't effect the 'political nature' of the 'Institution of the Nation', as such; like War, it effects the 'real Human beings' in those Nations. Millions are dying and are being dispossessed of the necessities of life. Only a 'political decision' that addresses the 'economic value system' can help those conditions. So where is it? Nowhere in sight. We will probably continue living under the 'Profits Motor' until we can no longer 'breathe'. Our economic values will continue to 'drive' our lives till they destroy the 'food' we eat, and the 'air', we breathe, and the Planet we live on. Where is Democracy? I mean 'real democracy'; a democracy driven by the 'Equality and Freedom' of 'each and every' 'dignified' human being on the Planet. If the 'Profits motor' is not destroying our lives, its destroying our Planet. How sad; we create our own 'enemies', and, rest assured, the 'human condition' will be 'implicated' in its own demise.
