The Spark That Changed The World

Let's not forget that the firestorm in the Middle East was ignited by one man in Tunisia who set himself on fire in protest of the suffering of the people and the corruption of government. The match he lit is reshaping the world.

Likewise, the value of what's happening in Madison, Wisconsin is not in which side wins. The sad truth is that the corporate state has subverted the system of government to their purpose, and all laws and court decisions are likely to continue to facilitate a transition to neofeudalism. No, the value of Madison is tied to whether or not it is the match that ignites the tinder. If the situation is merely diffused, then an opportunity is lost until the next time. Eventually, the tinder will light.

The horizontal pseudo-battles between Right and Left, Democrat and Republican, Conservative and Liberal, East and West, Religion and Secularity are smoke and mirrors intended to divide the Many so they do not recognize the real problem: the vertical struggle between the Haves and the Have-Nots; between the global peasant class and the global noble class.

And welcome to DU. :hi:

I have children and grandchildren, and what's happening in the world right now is giving me the only real hope for their futures I've had in decades.

btw, welcome AKDavy.
