Think and Decide
Log off and turn off the data bombardment
Purge mind of sermons, speeches, and polls.
Imagine life without coercion or pressure.
No shadowy figures with hidden agendas.
In a quiet place with pencil and paper.
Decide if you’re happy with you and your country.
Decide if your thoughts give you peace and pride.
Are those in authority speaking for you?
Find ways to express how you feel.
Use words of your own, spoken or written.
Use poetry, pictures, video footage.
Find like-minded others who share your ideas.
Decide.
Do you want to dwell with the sleeping flock?
Support shadow governments with your excellent efforts?
Think of ways to survive if the answers are ‘NO’.
Think of helping others to realize their answers.
Think of you and your others creating a tribe.
Think of good interaction with other free tribes.
Forget about changing the old regime. Thinking and acting will cause it to die.

Excellent. Tribes.

Excellent expression, Jeff. I see what you mean about it tying into the same fabric as my Interactive Pamphlet Revolution. I\'m glad you didn\'t "forgo the exercise," though. And I\'m glad you had the balls to use the word tribe. We are tribal animals, us human, no? And we have been neglecting that fact to our own detriment for too long. That\'s a long-standing fantasy of mine, actually: being part of a tribe, belonging to a larger social organization which I valued and also valued me--not for political or spiritual reasons, but simply for being. Tribes are big families. They are made of people that you live with to different extents, and people who not only understand the necessity of social bonding, but also practice respect and love for other beings--not just a narrowly defined in group. That\'s my idea of a tribe and tribes, and how tribes cooperate and coordinate, fuctioning together as social oraganims.
