31. The PEOPLE and THEIR ISSUES ...FORGE ON...PAST THE TURF WARS!

Sorry for the shouting...But, this is what I believe...from what I've seen ...being around awhile.

Yeah...it sounds OLD...and we COMPROMISED...too much for decades after the Civil Rights Movement...but, given what we are up against...we should SEIZE the MOMENT...where MUCH of America is unhappy and in Malaise at this time having suffered so much (with many clueless until it Hit Them.)

We need a MASS MOVEMENT...because all of us are VERY UNHAPPY everwhere, IMHO. But, how to do this is evolving.

I love reading all the different viewpoints...because it gives me hope for something MORE INCLUSIVE coming out of our efforts.

It's a REMAKE of 60's...but with the benefit of much more INFORMATION, HISTORICAL INFO, and the INTERNET..(as long as it lasts).

I have to be optimistic. I've co-existed since 2001 with folks of Differing Opinions on DU and I still feel...after all these years...we have MORE IN COMMON than NOT...and we WILL UNITE and fulfill the DREAMS of the 60's and make those DREAMS more PERMANENT.

But then...I'm very IDEALISTIC...Always have been ...but there are huge times of depression where it seems nothing moves. I think we are in an UPSWING of PEOPLE POWER NOW!

We NEED TO GO WITH THIS!
