My thoughts on the matter and how to make a positive difference straddle and follow two paths.
Localizing economies and building self reliant communities, a good site to check out for steps on how to achieve this is the Institute for Local Self Reliance. That, I see as the easier part of the task at hand.
The more challenging endeavor addresses a standout among the many fractures in American society today, IMO. The perception that the rule of law is only applicable to the monetarily meager virtually guarantees chaos will sooner rather than later knock through the door of order. I say with so many out of work, that small groups of people can visit frequently, their local D.A.'s, satellite offices of federal agencies, even state AG's, with polite, but firm insistence that the EQUAL application and enforcement of the rule of law be honestly pursued by those in positions serving a public. Two to three visits a week, three to five folks at a time for six to eight weeks in cities across the nation. Go for a round two with media in hand if this meets with no results. U-cubed, the organization for the unemployed may be able to help facilitating localized focus, I'm not sure if they would find such a plan in keeping with their charter.
I believe Wall Street has fraudulently robbed us, publicly, privately, preemptively. The gap that's been created the rate with which it has skyrocketed indicates to me a criminal wake.
The health insurance industry is composed of serial mass murderers for money who should not be permitted to remain a part of the delivery process, period.
Corporations in a variety of disciplines have done everything from pit masses against one another to rape and destroy the life ensuring qualities of the planet itself. All in the name of something we don't need anyway.
Be careful when you ask this diligent fool from a distant hill for suggestions. For I am a long winded wordy wench worried for a world.
Welcome to DU. Civility hasn't a choice but to be pleasing.
