In this edition of Spirit In Action, our guest-host is Mark Leach and he talks about the weakening of the Endangered Species Act, why we should support the International Criminal Court, why and how young people should know how to seek conscientious objector status, why this is actually a good time to prepare for a career in public service, why he’s optimistic, and an original piece of research linking corruption with income disparity. These are the links that are useful when helping young people prepare for seeking Conscientious Objector status. Friends General Conference, Church of the Brethren, and Center on Conscience and War. Mark conducted a rank correlation statistical test that found a strong link between income disparity (GINI values from cia.gov) and perception of corruption. The corruption values can be found in The World Population Review’s report. We encourage everyone to read it. Mark Leach is a retired ecologist who emphasized finding effective ways everyday people could restore and protect functioning ecosystems. In recent years, he’s brought his message of positive participation to social issues. But he has little tolerance for the liars and social parasites who put wealth first.
