Yes. Connie, you are right. Youth violence 'is' expanding and the

'thinktanks' are failing us on all levels of society. Too much

'thinking' I believe. Consider the models that I have developed 'my'

grassroot humanitarian effort. I am not obliged to share them until such

time as the 'thinktanks' release their control. It is these very

'thinktanks' that label us as mentally ill, fanatics, rebels, outcasts,

looney, unstable, and unbalanced... the list is endless. They see us as

a threat and possibly a cause to the youth violence. So, they continue

to 'think' for that is their only function. I 'think' that they are not

working. I 'think' we need a grassroots humanitarian effort to set

things back in a positive direction. This is all the 'thinking' that I

need to do. The rest is action and I have a plan.

 

So, until the time comes when our professionals (avatars), experts

(gurus), political leaders (buddhas) scientists (madmen) think there

last thought in their insulated 'tank' then perhaps we fundamental

humanitarians will be given the opportunity to show how it 'works'

outside of the tank. Perhaps we have the answers by living as opposed to

'thinking' about the problem. I mean, who's problem is it anyways? Does

it belong the mansions of priviledge in the sky? If not, then why do we

sit here and wait for their answers?

 

I will continue to try and organize this grassroots movement Connie. We

can sqabble about leadership some other time. I have models that work. I

have models that do not change existing political, religious, or

economic structures. I only hope that when our 'thinktanks' and

grassroots humanitarian efforts meet, that they will consider what I

have to say. I want to ensure that what I have to say is said on the

record. They can throw it in the garbage after that but I wish to be

heard and that is the only leadership role that I desire. After that, I

will leave politics to the politicians, religion to the religious,

professionals to their profession, and scientists to their discoveries.

I have no illusion as to my roll here. Nor should you. I did not come to

save the world. I came to be heard. I have something to say and once it

is said, I want to go home and be a husband, father, son, friend...

 

Regards.
