(62,325 posts)to thank for what I have learned over the past decade. Sometimes you learn far more from your adversaries than those you agree with.
But isn't it exciting that we know so much more now than most of us did even ten years ago?
It really is true that knowledge is power. You can almost feel the yearning, across the country, across the world, for meaningful change, for making better use of the planet's resources etc.
More people than ever have learned what the Wealthy, the Oil Cartels etc have been doing to this planet, what Big Corporations have been doing to create so much inequality by using people as slave labor in other countries. Because now they are trying to do it here.
All this knowledge has made people angry, it sparked a Global Movement for the first time.
It took decades, maybe centuries to get to where we are, so it will take time to change things, but I am excited at the growing urgency you feel everywhere, to make some major, major changes in how this planet is utilized.
And the Corps, Wall St feel it to. That is why they cracked down so hard on OWS. They truly fear more than anything else, not being able anymore to, as Hillary put it sadly, 'control the message'. They could people under control so long as they could fool them. That is not the case anymore.
