Without a voice, we cannot be heard. Without a consensus, we cannot be understood. Shall we remember Democracy, and practice a purple finger vote, based upon the method developed in Iraq?
Grass roots. Determine issues, questions, and potential options or answers in the General Assembly. Distribute inexpensively printed ballots, and ink the finger of all those who participate in purple, to assure no one may vote more than once. Come up with some on-the-ground numbers so we may Democratically determine our most focused views.
Readily done. Imagine the image of a movement raising a multitude of purple fingers. And finally begin wresting a precious Democracy out of the hands of the corporatocracy. Corporations as "citizens"? No greater bully. Exercise Democracy within Occupy. Now is the time. Let us develop a more potent voice.
Agreed, "determine issues, questions, and potential options or answers", so perhaps you would consider our group's proposal of an alternative online direct democracy of government and business at http://getsatisfaction.com/americanselect/topics/on_strategically_weighted_policies_organizational_operating_structures_tactical_investment_procedures-448eo and then direct questions or comments to our group's 19 members committed to that plan at: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/
