a legal mandate does not make it fit

Perspective for your consideration …What does it look like when it’s fixed…?

.Arizona Snowbowl wins legal challenge to build Wastewater Snow …Ski Rebel Magazine…http://www.skirebel.com/magazine/archives/1758 …A long running legal battle between Arizona Snowbowl ski area and local indigenous tribes who hold the mountain sacred appears to have finally concluded in the resort’s favor. Arizona Snowbowl wants to use purified waste water to make snow above Flagstaff on the ski mountain known as Humphrey’s Peak in northern Arizona’s San Francisco Peaks.

What does it look like when it’s fixed…? For me it’s fixed when articles like this no longer appear for us to read. Clearly what we collectively demonstrated here is that might makes, right and re-enforces the belief that he who has the gold, rules. What did we accomplish, is our environment safer, stronger for our action…? Does this legal mandate make the water collected in this volcanic mountain – cleaner…?

It’s fixed when we no longer need to resort to using untrue superlatives like “purified” wastewater which to me is as an oxymoron. Pure and wastewater and snow for me do not correlate, what say you…? Maybe there will be signs placed along the ski slopes reminding us all not to eat the yellow snow.

It’s fixed when we collectively would have taken the time to build honest consensus to solution and resolution we will now, never know. Were we to have been open to possibilities allowing time for us to digest without all the name-calling and hype the buy-in we obtain would manifest a skiing paradise.

This takes time and in the speed and haste in which we live, we simply are not willing to commit to making time to hear and listen.

When both individually and collectively we choose to stop, to look, and too honestly listen … then I can say, it’s getting fixed.
