No Vitz,
We are not on the same page and not striving for the same thing.
The division breaks down accordingly:
A] Those who use all they can to solve the problem...and act according to belief.
and B] those who use the problem...to solve all they can...and believe according to what is convenient and good for the self.
Using the issues to serve the self is not the same as sacrificing the self to serve the issue. There are obvious differences in motivations of people who address these issues and pontificate on them from afar.
Confusing the two harms the sincere and elevates the insincere to equal status.
Learning to think one way yet act another as convenience dictates is the skill of a survivor or a chameleon. But adapting and changing to fit the gameplan of the money source...like an environmental gold digger helps to explain why the core issues gets overlooked. All success will begin in the field...but this is a minority opinion. It is abandoned to serve the notions of the "leaders" of the various groups who can best be understood as business competitors in search of capital.
Your point that there are differences is as moot and obvious as
pointing out that politicians and candidates disagree, food relief agencies
disagree and save the whale groups disagree...on a great deal.
CORL was the best chance to get all the trainers and the business types on the same trajectory. It got everyone together and was close to ignition. Its detractors seem to have won for now. Their reward? Nothing. Nothing is happening in place of what could have been happening.
CORL efforts would've dovetailed nicely with other agendas. Now the CORL trainers will go to less business friendly, more Nationalistic Filipino environmental groups to train. The primary agenda will shift again.
Only this time, you won't even have a vote. This time you won't have one of you own to question and one from the trade to grill over every little thing you manufacture disagreement over.
Filipino leadership may find this trade less worthy than the brown nosing, cow-towing 'anything for money' Yanks. They may even arrive at conclusions that place Philippine interests ahead of foreign business interests.
God forbid they do that everyone as the trades behavior and Philippine interests are not on the same page.
