The Occupy Cafe Dream Poster

John Lennon's song, "Imagine" comes to my mind when I think about this potential collaborative creation. I envision a series of prints of a 12"x16" poster, with some kind of statement on it, of course, beautifully decorated and crafted by the genius of our collective imagination. I'm not suggesting some kind of decree about who 'we' are based on 'what we believe' should be the state of various aspects of our existence and how we should go about getting there. There is plenty of that,…

Patriarchy and Feminism

Good day, womyn and gentlemyn of the Cafe. It is good to see dialogue on the topic as to why very few womyn are posting at the Café. The answer lies somewhere between how it is that womyn's voices get co-opted, and the myopia caused by a vague reference point, from which one begins, i.e. primogeniture. Men need to endeavor to understand how womyn operate. The Cafe needs to learn to understand the participation of women, as though there had never been primogeniture. Patriarchs need to abandon…

Yes, WE can do it !!

In the late 1990s, my husband, my self and my in-laws attended one of our monthly Historical Madison County Society meetings, during which we were given a viewing of an old film shot around the county courthouse in the 1930s.  What has remained stuck in my memory was this astonishing fact - there were nothing but lean and thin people present.  Of course, there have been throughout history, some people who were "gravitationally challenged" - King Henry the VIII or "Chubby" of the Little…

Days are become sadness, filled with sorrow builded by all we have come to be. With recrimination of self and of the subjugational societal systems of which our nations and our world are formed. I think and…

"Keystone Pipeline" STOP IT 2012 Election Cycle

Friends of Occupy Everywhere,

We are on our OWN in regards to the "illusion of political choice" in this mountain of American bullshit surrounding us.  I must need medication because I still have some romantic notion that American's actually care, when if fact, they don't even care about one another and the principle diet in their obesity is "Eat Each Other" in…

Need help getting this video on Public Access Channels

Many Public Access Channels across the country have already asked us to send them copies of our video to air, helping to remove money's influence from our government.



The problem is: they are asking for a local person to sponsor the video. I need help in your area to fill out a form for the station. To find out how, go to THIS PAGE, and…

SAVE BIG BIRD! OCCUPY EARTH NEXT STEP

SAVE BIG BIRD!

As the Denver Post reported the Ultimate Moment in the 2012 Denver 1st Debate was "The Bull versus The Matador."  I emotionally support President Obama's predicament as a distant observer and wonder where is the matador in this emergent storyline?  News pundit's exploded from all sides in political outraged rhetoric for his populist…

"Happy Birthday Occupy Wall Street ... thoughts on Year One"

Fifteen years ago, I ran across a book, "100 Most Influential People in History," during one of my dalliances to my local Marin County bookstore. "Influential People" was one man's assessment on exactly that. But how he determined his rankings was the interesting part. They weren't always the reasons you would think. But after thinking about it, they made complete sense. For example:George Washington was ranked in the top 40 of all time. Understandable. But the reason why ... not so much. You…See More

Leadership Ecology

When a Leadership Ecology occurs, a web of relationships emerges revealing each person’s authentic leadership qualities through the transfer of their power to others. When done in a conscious way – a shared collaborative awakening happens.See More
