An epiphany for our generation

a friend of mine who is an old hippie who never left the 70's - he still wears those rose colored glasses all the time - looked at me today and said "it's the big corporations ?? isn't it".  Yes grasshopper, it is the big corporations, and the high-income earners.  and no, it is not their fault - your right again grasshopper, it's your fault, and the other 98% of our generation who went to sleep about the time jimmy carter got elected. Are you waking up now, are you listening - shhh - what's that sound - everybody knows whats going down - do you remember the words.  here - i will help -

i think it's time we stop children what's that sound
everybody look whats going round

theres battle lines being drawn
nobodys right if everybodys wrong
young people speaking their minds
gettin so much resistance from behind      full text

does any of this sound familiar - like today - like right now.  the question still is what are we going to do.  as one we are a bubble moving through time bigger than anything they have ever seen.  and as quiet as a mouse.  time for us to start making the sound.

I agree

"April 1st is upon us. In some circles it is celebrated as "April Fools' Day." I choose to observe it as Open Source
Intelligence Analysts' Day-- the one day of the year that we all have to be extra-suspicious of every news article, blog post and tweet. It's a good skill to develop, and we have this unique time where we know that there are hidden gems of disinformation being introduced into the streams of information we've come to rely on the rest of the year. 

It's like a tornado drill for truth."


I agree completely

Tuesday morning

Good morning to all you hippies, young and old.  This morning I read the local newspaper that says some of our clothes are Backinstyl.  That's good for me since that is all I have.  Seriously now - if that is all that has survived then we are in bigger trouble than we think.  It's time we stop talking - what's that sound - everybody sees what's coming down - and we can change it.

opening a dialog

Seems like a very log time since we as a generation have had a conversation.  I think it is time we straighten out a few of the messes we have created.  So - first we have to talk about what went wrong.  Here we go.
