Hope for the Future

I’ve been reading a book called “The Better Angels of Our Nature; why violence has declined.”   His argument is based on statistics from the 1400’s to the present, and his argument is impressive.   I’m a little over a third of the way through it, in a chapter called “The Long Peace”.  This book gives me more hope than I’ve ever had.

I’ve also been made hopeful by the “Occupy” movement.  Some kind of self-organization is happening and it’s creating a new kind of organism, just as long ago hydrocarbon molecules self-organized into living cells. This is not just a protest, or maybe not even a protest, it’s a new way of being together.

Without a microphone, how do you communicate?
