I cannot agree more, and absolutely spot right on. Thinking globally, but acting locally… means exactly what you say. We have to offer a living example of the kind of community that we want our country to be… locally first. It’s one thing to try to convince others to buy into a set of desirable values; it’s quite another to offer them a living example of those values. We do, indeed, need to form more communities like the one that you described. And I, for one, would like to be a part of one.

Good, Gary. Please note that—to also draw from Graceland—“the bomb is in the baby carriage.” Please, one and all, see my entry on Counterpunch this weekend and contact me directly at - if the piece is not posted here.

Thanks Gary, I agree wholeheartedly with your suggestions. The time up for grieving this election was November 4. It’s over and what some felt was unimaginable has happened. There is no real comfort in bitterness and resentment so it’s back to basics, education, more knowledge, revamp all the processes and find new workable processes. Our mandate is to do a better job continuing to wage a more lasting peace. A peaceful heart begins this process of change, not bitter emotions.

I’d like to know what Joan thinks of The Plan delineated on Counterpunch this weekend in an article of mine titled INVITATION TO THE BODILY SNATCHED; I’m particularly interested in how it all stacks up against your notion of change beginning w a peaceful heart...which I am all for. Others, of course, are invited to respond too.
