7. I love in that first video where he asks the CEO if he has children/grandchildren

and when he is answered in the affirmative he asks when the man ceases to be
a CEO and be a father and grandfather. The silence that followed his question
was due to the fact that he questioned the man's humanity and his human role
and responsibility in this world. A moral question. The man obviously would not
even permit this question to weigh into the equation...he chose instead to identify himself
as a CEO with profits being his primary role and purpose. So in this scenario there is
NO ROOM for moral questions AT ALL. And so morality is not at the center.
The elder then says that if you don't have a moral question in your governing process then
you don't have a process that is sustainable or one that can survive.

I think the our youth are awakening and see Bernie Sanders as one of these elders who has always asked himself and others to put that moral question front and center of our governing process. And he's not alone...there are many other elders who are attempting to warn us if we will only listen and ASK the moral question.
