6. a wonderful start

to many it will seem outlandish or ephemeral, already someone upthread used the word Utopia...

however, it is a good model for us to begin working towards, and is clearly defining that which we should consider priorities as a society, as a planet...

iIrc, the Constitution took several drafts...and years...to hammer out. As Occupy continues to evolve, and as the rest of things continue to change it will become more apparent as to the HOW and the details of making this happen. But as a community, as a society, we need to hold the vision for what we WANT, not just continue to feel helpless in the face of how awful things have become...

a good positive step forward for the new year!
