Replacing contracting with consuming:

We have replaced contracting with consuming. Contracting is meeting to get something done—we will work together in an agreed upon way to attain something.

Consuming ends in being consumed—look at our people trapped in huge all-consuming bodies and tell me it is not so. Look at our money system foreclosing our homes and taking our labor.

We no longer approach the world as neighbors—as agents acting upon the world—as life-givers, but as victims, as done-to couch potatoes.

If we want to be more, we must meet more, do more, come together.
