I share your sentiments and agree that we are the only ones who can take matters into our own hands.

For me, it's about community level work... I figure that the PTB will continue to do what they are doing and all i can do is handle things here on the ground. Can't wait for anything to change on the grander scale, the system itself is too corrupt and too big...hehe, to big to fail, right?

So next spring i am working on neighborhood gardening, sustainable living, self sufficiency, etc... I may not have a job but at least i can do something constructive...in fact, when there's nothing else left, there's nothing left to do but create community.

I am healing my own community, because it is all i can manage right now. Scrapping for survival has taught me that our neighbors and friends are the ones that matter...
