The nature of the economy

Luckily this is all going down in an election year.
We the people are figuring out that we, the people are—the people.
Not just little individuals in our cul de sacs with big old govt. intruding and doing it wrong, and/or protecting our nation (whatever that is). No: we are the nation.
We have the power. We hold the purse strings.
It's our choice what we want to see on Wall St. and it's our choice to pay, and how to pay.
"The economy" has suddenly ceased being this weird thing happening "over there" like a mountain range.
It's in your wallet. It's in your debts. It's in your bills. It's just like ecology without nature: when you realize everything is connected, nature withers away. “Ecology may be without nature. But it is not without us.” (Last sentence of Ecology without Nature.)
What a wonderful learning curve we're on! It feels good to be alive.
Blink Charlie! Blink! It'll moisten your eyes.
