(84,711 posts)DU or KOS so much. But, people rising up doing local action. It's not OWS...it's something different. It's special interest groups amongst the people with common interests who come together over a Local Cause... Different from what we've seen before. Maybe in some ways closer to some of the early actions by the NAACP before they broke through in the late 60's to become a more national movement.
Something is coming..agree Nadin. I'm not "cheerful about it" but whatever comes we have to hope that's it's better than the last 20 years for moving us forward to a more equitable state of being. If that's why you are cheerful..then agree. But, already having lived through the last CHANGE...wasn't looking forward to have to go through it again...because we had so hoped we had fixed much of what was wrong...and then to see it all dismantled doesn't help some of us get over that hump to recharge. But...we will and there is HELP on the WAY with so many young who are waking up as many of us had to do...all those years ago.
