Yes Magazine editor David Korten teamed up with non-profits and small businesses to put together a report on key reforms that would liberate America from Wall St. Rule and from dependence on the 1%.  By acting locally, we can collectively topple the pyramid scheme that dominates the political, economic, and biological milleaus all over the world, reverse the centralization of power. regenerate the biosphere, promote peace and establish economic justice.

Yes Magazine is a reader-supported, volunteer-run monthly publication that highlights positive solutions for redesigning the way we live.  Magazine contributors and editors alike have been following the OWS movement very closely and the press has been overwhelmingly positive.

Sounds great ...But

In all sincerity followed by all due respect.

Until we can stop polluting The 99% Immediate agenda by slipping in our own personal concerns & solutions for saving the planet, important as you/we believe they are. We will remain a house divided in disarray, in dispute with one & other unorganized & divided.

Stop the greed, Stop the corruption then we can stop our ignorance of destroying our planet through education & a clear understanding of the real & indisputable scientific fact's.

If we don't stop this train wreck of Rule by the Rich, resources will continue to be disproportionately provided to our research for the state of our environmental health & the true & immediate action's needed to heal it.

Right now, issuing, buying, selling & trading "Carbon Credit's", a practice developed by the 1% for profiteering, thanks Al, isn't the solution, agreed?

 

My picture reads

"Sell a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you ruin a perfectly good business opportunity."

The 1% philosophy

Greed is human nature, like

Greed is human nature, like sex.  How do you suggest we stop that?  I think corporal punishment might work, or worse punishments for the greedy than drug users face.  EXCEPT, enough of our lawmakers suffer from GREED addictions themselves and always leave loopholes, misinterpetations, for themselves (and their buddies), and in the Greenspan/Cheney example, the holes for themselves were so abundant and apparent that almost all educated people in the business jumped in with both feet!  They just add a word here and there, remove a couple; and any well-written legislation becomes a siphon!

Debt restructuring should not first require a default.

Main street can begin to heal from within if they are legally allowed to renegotiatte their debts without first being forced to default.

Occupy Wall Street is about Wall Street

I am very thankful that occupy LA is a peaceful movement. I am also glad that the movement is laying out goals that are EASY to find as Corporate media still insist that the movement is unorganized and wishy-washy. My understanding (and why I support it) is that the 1% have taken control of the government and financial system the 99% want protections from the power that the 1% hold. If I am wrong please correct me. Thanks to everyone that have taken up this worthy cause.

together we shall bring freedom

To be a movement, direction is needed.  To get people moving together as one cause is difficult.  Too many voices, people within will separate.  If we can make an APP to do what Daniel Suarez book "Freedom" does, we will do great things.  We all will be united as one.  Our voices will be one.  The current world is whomever has the most $$$ controls everything.  I sincerely hope, We the people is the voice that give our prospective to make the world a better place.
