82. The American Climate Change
Manage episode 376581450 series 3259790
But didn't we invent hope? We began as the nation whose name meant "Dream Big."
The American Dream killed the people who lived here and stole people from their lives in Africa. And now the climate is killing the killers here as the Earth evolves its next life. The top banker says that to give up the poisons would be "America going to Hell". We look away. We gather in arenas, cheering wildly, looking away from the Earth. We pretend that the American Dream is not on this planet. That's not what dreaming is.
