A LOT of energy is left untapped. Yet our dissatisfaction at the way things are does not wane. The model for citizen action and change as coordinated online makes some common and faulty presuppositions that add up to air leaking from a collective balloon at a drastic rate. We bang our heads against the wall, we seem to waste our energy trying to move boulder bedrock. Yet, all this discussion, all our complaint, all our desire...it can be tied together. Or so my ideas tell me. I'll probably want to draw it out a bit, and then pull one or two people in for the planning stages, organizational. But there are ways around that wall, and it just means changing our shape. Forget taking it down, we shall simply flow through the weave.

This idea is something completely different. And yet it draws on many other ideas. It is nonviolent, if you consider tipping the status quo over "nonviolent," it is non-discriminatory (although the Brown™ must head this effort), it is variegated and bold and creative enough that I may never describe the whole piece here, although I will probably draw in your help if you are interested. Most importantly, it steps over or around those things that tear apart other efforts...or so is the goal by the time I finish thinking my end out. Of course I will have to describe it a bit more...but I also have to keep it close, as I keep thinking it out. What is the change? Whatever we want. How shall we do it? In many ways at once. Will I tell you what the hell I'm talking about? Yes. Just not now.

I just didn't want anyone to think I'm purely deconstructing out here. I may not think the way things work now are the way they should work, and I may see many problems, but I also think in terms of solution, make no mistake about that. I have been thinking in those terms all the while.

More...in time.
