Man, God, Religion, and State, is a reflection on our physical, philosophical, and political, past, present, and possible future. This book may challenge the religious views of some readers, but it is not my intention to cause offence to any religious believer. We are all living in a time of anxiety and insecurities, which may prevent us from embracing our humanity. But we should never allow either the pain and sorrow of the past or the threats and fears of the present to obscure our vision of what is just and truthful. Our present socioeconomic relationships are based on injustice and falsehood, which is unsustainable. We must therefore adjust our level and rates of consumption before we cross the line of no-return. In this sense, Man, God, Religion, and State is a warning to us all.

"Was it a bird, a kite, a ghost or a flag? Believe it or not, it was a dirty plastic bag! How did it get there? What did this mean? It was the strangest sight he'd ever seen." This book was created by Ethan and his Poppy. There was a plastic bag stuck in the tree just outside Ethan's Brooklyn living-room window. The bag was well beyond the reach of anyone. Ethan and Poppy would see the bag and comment about how it got there, and how to remove it. As they walked the streets of NYC and beyond, they found many more plastic bags stuck in trees, behind bushes, in fences, etc. This book is a product of their research and numerous discussions. It is our greatest hope that by publishing this book, others will become more aware and dedicated to cleaning our environment.
