That's like saying the root of all our problems is the devil. "We will remain in this collective dead-end . . . until we find a way out of it. It won’t come from the tools our rulers have given us, and it won’t come from repeating any of the old patterns which got us here." She ought to clarify her meaning here. A lot of people today have been indoctrinated into mistaking huge portions of Natural Law for 'oppressive Patriarchy.' I agree with Caitlin about 95%. It's that 5% stuff she slips in that always gets my spidy senses up. The irony is traditional structures that enhance integrity of community and the nurturing process, and which create strong, alert, responsible and productive individuals are precisely the cure we need most in these times. So radicalism is actually answering one dead end with another dead end. Balance and clarity is what's needed most.
