The Emperor Wears No Clothes

Natural Guard

Instead of a National Guard, why not establish a Natural Guard of environmental soldiers to be our front line for survival – planting trees, harvesting biomass (e.g. hemp) from marginal farm lands?

A Natural Guard of electricians, plumbers, engineers and laborers who work rebuilding the infrastructure of America; our roads, bridges, dams, canals, sewers, railroad tracks, etc.

Isn’t this the humane, civilized and socially responsible way to use our human resources, rather than warehousing people like animals in prisons?
