Occupy Underground

into my "mainstream" conversation. I'm as interested in macro concepts regarding the overall direction of humanity as I am with the micro.

What I'm discussing is from Buckminster Fuller:

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Because the powers that be do not WANT change, unless it's to further engorge themselves. The GA with its horizontal, participatory democracy gave an equal voice to someone from Skid Row and the President of the united states. This is exactly how it must be. It reminds all of the people that WE are the reason, not THEM. THEY are full of reasons we should give away our personal power (to them). To become empowered, to have an equal voice, reminds that we can all do this together and that it is truly possible in this manner, without submitting to power structures now corrupted by money and greed.

Yes, it's a tremendous battle against a function which most decidedly has no interest in losing any of its ground. So we work to keep bringing the message to the people whose general will, in a GA or even in general, decides. Look at Rush Limbaugh right now...forced out because the majority finally became sick of his crap. I believe this is building in the majority regarding income inequality/unfairness, corruption and money in politics, housing and food rights, etc. Let's keep working on spreading the message!
