Jean - you are so right re:
"There are so many thoughtful ideas in this thread. But does anyone here have the energy or the time to actually move forward on these ideas? (I know people have the talents and knowledge and skills)"
my answer is, "no, I don't have the energy. But is it time for me to do it anyway?"
At some point aren't "they" counting on our lack of energy to remain divided and mute?
When I was a very small girl, my mother used to sing the jingle from a product called "Carey Salt." It was "Carey, carey, carey, you're so revolutionary." I guess my agitator-idealist side is showing!
