Courtesy Glen Anderson of the Olympia, Wash. Fellowship of Reconciliation.  In table format, an example of the starkly contrasting narratives of "true security" (life-nurturing universal human values, based on abundance and cooperation) versus "national security" (death-mongering, scarcity-based resource hoarding, rooted in fear and greed).  For me, Glen's simple chart clearly illustrates the disconnect between means and ends (or the "how" and the "why") of the modern, industrialized world, whose paradigmatic assumptions all but erase human values from its structures.
