27. The era of the savior is over

Even though I get you're talking about a fantasy, it's time we stop looking outside ourselves for an agent to enact the (positive) change we want to see. We have to look to each other and ask "why aren't you doing anything dude?" We also need to look in the mirror and say the same thing, of course.

I know, this is probably a bummer and may put folks on the defensive. They may even ask: "since you're pointing fingers, what are YOU doing "dude""?

Well a lot actually. And if I get my way, every American will be free of debt, homeowners will actually own their homes mortgage free, and we'll never pay another penny in taxes, yet our country will be even stronger.

Am I planning an overthrow? Not really. What I am doing is exercising the humbling task of bringing to Americans the solution they've been looking for, but looking in the wrong place(s). As much as we think democracy is going to do it, as much as we may hope that the past has our solutions, as long as we think protest is going to make a difference, it just isn't. What will is inspiration, courage and commitment to create a future we all want.

The first step is recognizing we have a problem. I think we'd all agree with that. The next step is to identify a viable alternative. The third step is to passionately rally around that alternative until the deal is done. Steps One and Two are done. I'm fomenting step three among the global population.
