Woot! A new post, new love, most excellent song, no more casino... this thing is just full of welcome good news! You know me, I'm soured big time right about now with Harper's "controlling" FNs, etc etc (Well OK, most of my bad attitude is fo-cussed on Harper.) Anyhoo, enough of that stuff... this is great and it's also great to have you back!

LOL... I try not to swear, I'm too old for it and not quite old enough if you can understand that.

I understand what you mean by the G20, but that had been going on for years, mass protests at the gatherings of the big and powerful. aka, the earless ones. Those are possibly like a beginning salvo, perhaps even an attempt to change things from the top down. That has never worked. This is strictly from the bottom up, with every effort to keep it peaceful, and it has worked over and over again.

I hope as you, that this is the start of something big, it is so needed! OWS won't succeed in all the cities, at least now at the beginning and I certainly hope it does not become violent, but it's definitely worth a strong try. Those kids, most of them, are educated and have no job, can't find a job. They really don't have much else to do but try to change the world for the little guy, which is most of the 99% they talk about.

Leaders are emerging, their futures are being staked out. Who knows if this will work on it's own or if it will be squashed and live to form again, another shape in another season. I do know it is part of something much bigger that will change the world and for that I am most grateful.

When I heard about OWS last week I was astounded that this group of kids could do this (probably very much what my parents thought back in the 60s and early 70s) and all the youth who have elected to follow the model in their own cities since then is even more of an a** grabber. I have followed it each day for hours since. I am so proud of the human race right now - what a resilient mass of creation! I think their approach is admirable - there is no leader, their list of "their one demand" is morphing as I type.

From being hidden from history by mass media moguls for well over a week they have now emerged on CNN being lauded by Michael Moore, all because of a NYPD jerk who loves to pepper spray caged women. I wonder if leaders will emerge as they did in the early 70s, and I wonder if history will repeat itself and sacrifice those leaders. The point though is that "wonder" is the operative word here, something I haven't felt in decades! The world will change... ooo look, just in time for the world to change!... and who knows how we will be when it is done. We are all changelings. Beautiful!
