Reply #109: perhaps it would help to think of a paradigm shift [View All]

having worked with ACT UP you know about squeaky wheels.
Most of us here want that shift. Of course a sensible person would not be afraid of a lefty, radical or even anarchist. We all seek and work in our own ways for change.
I suppose real differences arise around the extent and the depth of the problem.
I am one who believes in seriously changing course, not just tacking to a more favorable wind. I think it is too late for anything else.
The military industrial/oil complex owns the game now.
We are faced with a world filled with weapons that we create.
The polar ice is melting faster than our direst models predicted.

Of course, politics is mostly a game, but how long do we have to play?
Politically, my personal choice is Dennise Kucinich, who has the nerve to challenge the militarization of this country. (He is operating out of the frame).
