In our case, after the most urgent topic it’s decided we start acting and letting them know our point of view. Let’s say it’s the economy what we want to be fixed first. Let’s say we don’t agree on more bail outs so we write to Congress, Federal Reserve, White House, etc. etc: We don’t agree and we don’t want to sponsor this “solution” anymore. Create a new plan that includes support and incentives for creating new companies, new jobs, new products, etc. Just say NO to give more money to the rich and powerful.
There are millions of people trying to start a new business, and inventors who don’t find financing or support of any kind, how many of us would like to be entrepreneurs if we could?
I’ll elaborate in other topics later on.
Thank you.

hi cloud9 - I love your energy!! I must say that I've been gung-ho on disarmament. Apart from mining military hardware for metals and re-using old buildings for progressive Life-affirming projects, I have no other ideas. You've made several comments about the economy that are really perfect!! I tend to think more like a sole proprietor, rather than as an employee, so there's a big gap in my awareness. For instance, let's say some of the stupid bio-weapons 'factories' are closed, UN treaties drafted, where do jobs go? Actually, many people would love to dump their dreary jobs, hmmm... or aspects of their dreary jobs, hmmm... but feeding the families & housing naturally are priorities. Any ideas? Insights?
For instance, poaching endangered species was a big problem in certain areas of Africa. It was the ONLY way locals could make money, to sell weird sh*t to Asian markets (albino this, live tiger ball that), UNTIL the tourism market was developed. After that, everyone felt better. The land was loved & protected, men could stay with the families, provide, be proud. Children had stable homes. Mothers were not so destroyed. Visitors came; everyone shared themselves with one another.
My point is that people get stuck in jobs that are not Right, but they do the survival trick. Also, being a horsey person, I get your dog whisperer suggestions. It's true. Leaders need to be accountable, transparent, fit the honour the Office bestows on them. (I'm from Canada.) Citizens have rights and duties, too, for the whole pie to bake.
I'm all over organized tax revolts for **** like war funding, cronyism, corruption, blatant disregard for citizen's lives, jeez f'ing poisoning people actually ... At the same time, US President Obama's first day in Office was impressive, man. It's complex - I like infrastructure intact, people's lives untouched by civil war. This was all I could come up with re the economy on a different thread. (I still think it's a good idea! - and the go-go boots are very cute.
