Reply #49: Horizontal vs. Vertical Leadership

[h2ebits]

Traditional Leadership is a Vertical stack and hierarchy ie. the concept of climbing the corporate ladder. The Internet is a horizontal framework and social networks move horizontally. OWS is a product of the Internet structure.

There is no lack of leaders within OWS--all of us, in fact. We each contribute our skills, our ideas, our passion for getting our great country back into the hands of the people. There are many problems to solve--the signage speaks to many of the country's ills. It is not a tidy process, quite messy in reality and change is very, very difficult.

The horizontal framework is hard to comprehend, the media slants, distorts, and lies about OWS, and those who seek to destroy America try to oppress us with use of violence and threats; while money has bought our politicians.

But the great awakening has begun and OWS is a huge factor. It's okay to stand up for yourself, for each other, for your country. There is honor in that and we are being credited with turning the national conversation to the issue of jobs rather than the deficit. In just a couple of months--WOW, that's impressive.

Keep Gandhi in front of you at all times.
