Too many of us are still too much in the peace movement mode of taking exaggerated rhetorical stances that reveal more about our immaturity and irresponsibility than about our consciences. Whether we agree with Joschka Fischer and the German Green Party or not, whether we feelthey should quit the government or not, yet we can learn from their predicament and can learn to appreciate their efforts to deal. Whatever we think they ought to do, we should give them words of encouragement along with whatever criticism we have for them. Then our critical commentary and advice can be heard and be helpful. Let us end the shrill yells of moralistic outrage and start thinking and acting in terms of ultimate responsibility.
Ultimate responsibility is a holisitc responsibility.
It's what ecology teaches us to do.
