Citizens cannot afford to have political party conditions stay the same old, same old. We, as a collective, must envision the mass cancer at the top coming to a screeching halt and take back the governing of our communities at local and national levels.

Absolutely Carol, you really hit the nail on the head.
We need to stop looking to politicians, priests, pastors and gurus for the answers and begin to look to ourselves to sort out the problems we face.
This is not a time to leave it to others, this is a time to take back power and direct it to the building of new communities. The politicians need us, we do not need politicians. Other forms of self-governance can be empolyed in discision-making such as grassroots participatory direct democracy.
This I think should be a Ground Crew initiative, an integral part in the founding of Radiant Zones. In that endeavour I've always found these lyrics very enlightening...
East 17 » It's Alright
Don't you worry, cos it's alright
Don't you worry, child of the night
Cos in the morning,
Come with the new day sun
Love - an everlasting light
We are the seed of the new breed
We'll succeed our time has come
We are the new
These words are true
Let the light of love shine through
It's alright (X 3)
It's really alright
It's alright
It's really alright
Alright, alright
Everything's gonna be alright (x 3)
Alright, alright it's ready alright
No don't be so sad
Cos love is by your side
No don't be so sad
Cos life is 2 short 2 live
No don't be so sad
I'll be mad if you're this
It's alright
The message that I give
Listen 2 me
Dreams can come true
Call out 2 love
It will answer you
4 get your trouble and smile
Let your heart speak awhile
Let the light of love shine through
Take your nightmare
Change 2 dream
Flow in the rhythm like a stream
Fear no evil, fear no man
Open up the mind
And the beats goes bam
Rhythm rolling, running smooth
Just like a little love
Sent 2 soothe
Ease the pressure, let it all go
Don't be afraid let the feeling flow
