Morales: address global crisis of capitalism

The Winter Solstice is nearly here: it marks the beginning new year for us pagans.

Evo Morales is President of Bolivia: he recently offered his vision of a new age. Sara Shahriari quoted the leader at Indian Country Today:

“And I would like to say that according to the Mayan calendar the 21 of December is the end of the non-time and the beginning of time. It is the end of the Macha and the beginning of the Pacha, the end of selfishness and the beginning of brotherhood, it is the end of individualism and the beginning of collectivism – 21 of December this year.

The scientists know very well that this marks the end of an anthropocentric life and the beginning of a bio-centric life. It is the end of hatred and the beginning of love, the end of lies and beginning of truth. It is the end of sadness and the beginning of happiness, it is the end of division and the beginning of unity, and this is a theme to be developed. That is why we invite all of you, those of you who bet on mankind, we invite those who want to share their experiences for the benefit of mankind."

Honoring the fallen with a national day of mourning this Friday might give a hurting planet a few hours of relief from the enemies of humankind.
