I think this forum is a perfect proving ground. You all want a different system. Start by making this forum functional as is. It doesn't matter what changes are made to it, the result will be the same if you cannot organize yourselves to make this forum orderly and constructive. If you cannot do this, you stand a dim chance of doing any thing else. Yeah but all the trolls! Charlie Sheen taught us all that trolls are everywhere.
Unreasonable?
If the 1% can turn corporations into people, I'm sure we can work something out.
nice :)
You da best

No truer words. Unfortunately the ones who have the most time to sit around and listen to paranoid talk shows are slightly successful small business owners and business ceo's who are so brainwashed that they will penalize and even fire any one they think is in sympathy with this movement, or any one who wants to move beyond the dark ages of superstician and racial / spiritual intolerance.
except for the posts and people that have been deleted, and the conversion of ron pauI into Ron Lawl
they want people to present their own agendas

the fact remains that obama has proven himself a corporatist, and it's well known they don't visit ron because he tells them to buzz off. yet it seems the majority of this movement will happily vote for the former again.
It depends upon what is used as the basis for morality, who controls it's implementation, and it's execution. Who do you entrust your morality to?
We have a history laden with legislated moral failures.
IMF/World Bank, 60 years, global economic order. Fail Federal Reserve Act, 100 years, U.S. central banking authority. Fail. U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, 200 years, U.S. supreme law. Fail. English Bible, 600 years, religion. Fail. Ten Commandments, 3500 years, religion. Fail.
We need to recognize the need for an ethics-based morality, encouraging the health and welfare of our global citizens, where every child and adult is imbued with a sense of right from wrong resulting in truth, love and peace.
Be well and thrive.

To have a different system means changing the way things were done before. Insisting on using the previous format does not create a new system.
I think people are far more creative than you give credit for :)
Well, it is difficult to get that when there are so many here that don't have a clue.
OOhhh. don't i know. i'm a pro-capitalism liberal. i catch it from all sides.
