The world will not be healthy until the vast majority of people realise they have a role to play, and they play that role. That role involves living a responsible sustainable life, taking into account all life on this planet! We must break the reliance on state. Giving up our power & responsibilities to the state (& other hierarchies) is such a mistake – possibly the greatest mistake mankind makes. The community depends on us (all)! We have to value everyone. All humans are equal. Universal Solidarity. Society is set up all wrong (deliberately (or otherwise)) for people to be empowered and responsible. Schools teach the wrong things, military indoctrinates young people, advertising pinpoints what we lack not what we have, media conspires against the people, big business takes our power, governments are mere pretentions to democracy, the social state is a lie, religions take our power too, work takes our time and energy, modern living takes our spirituality and sense of community. The system must be changed, to enable people to LIVE!

I've been talking to a lot of people recently about the whole mess and all are dissatisfied with how things are going globally and locally, but its locally we need to act, there was a posting recently about a concept called TACT(temporary anti capitalist teams), and I think that could be a good way to go, for all of us who are dissatisfied, and I'd say that at this stage, thats a whole lot of folk....
