Well we have marched either in person or in spirit and flooded Wall Street. Now what? As I read news and blogs I have the feeling it is just plain over. What is the next step? Has any momentum been created?
The news is all about war. No surprise in this imperialist oligarchy. The blogs are all about elections. So the system is alive and well. It grinds on and we feed it.
I may be underestimating, but it seems like the activities on Sunday and Monday were not very effective. Maybe I am expecting too much? Maybe I am missing something? Read on below and I'll explain my misgivings.
I expect a follow up and a call for action. I did not believe the organizers were going to let things rest. The powers that be are not stupid. Yes a lot of people turned out. But what is the impact of that? Where is it going? Is it over?
We need a workable plan of action to get us on track or we have had it. Just a short list:
A plan to get off fossil fuels as quickly as humanly possible.
A plan to stop consuming junk just to keep the system going.
A plan to manufacture only what is needed in a form that is repairable.
A plan to use cloth bags and reduce needless packaging.
A plan to get back to sustainable local agriculture.
A plan to clean up bodies of water and keep them that way.
A plan for widespread public transortation.
We need to begin now and to act and stop just talking. Am I asking too much?
