The following patterns were interesting. Not sure why.

....we must, we're in, the people, we are, we are, we are, we want, we
want, we are, we get, we cannot, We place, we know, we need, we are, people
must, their culture, our, our state, our behalf, our benefit
......

>I believe that we must honor the needs of the place we¹re in and the people
around us, for that¹s who and what we are close enough to observe and
compassionately respond to. Because we are sitting on top of millions of
years of coal and oil we are allowed to act globally, buying what we want
from where ever we want . Since we are distant from the land where we get
many of our products and the people who fashion them we cannot know what is
being done in our behalf. Our dollars are blind. We place them on the
counter and they activate a chain of activity we know nothing or very little
about.

The global village sounds good but we need volumes more information about
what we are buying, how it has been produced, what the people must do to
prepare it, how that fits into their culture, what its harvesting or
extraction is doing to the local ecosystem, what our state department and
military has done in our behalf to manipulate local politics for our benefit
and on and on.
