the vision thing...

as Loopy reminds us, don't mourn, organize!

subjugation and oppression always eventually produce resistance, and empires always fall.

historically speaking, when things get worse economically, people either turn on each other in a frenzy of blame or they join together to create transformation. Which will it be?

bin Laden, Buchanan and David Duke are all early harbingers of this storm. It's up to us to create a genuinely compelling alternative vision, to counteract the hatred and fanaticism that is growing the more people suffer.

We can still be excited about the unusually large groundswell of participation. even if it's still not as large or as radical as we'd like, maybe it's the beginning of a beginning.

We can do it! -- Si se puede!!!!
