What does it take to bring about a change?
Reading this site, and listening to discussions and arguments in various places, I have heard many views expressed about what is needed to bring about change. There have been many discussions about tactics, strategies and approaches. There is the ever present discussion of violence vs non-violence. Some people argue for picking up the gun, some for strict non-violence, some for political reform, some for civil disobedience and revolution and so on...

What I hear little of, and what I believe to be more critical than all of these external considerations is recognition of what sort of human character and psychological foundation is needed to bring about a shift in the suicidal direction of our civilization.

To bring about a change, we need to examine our own psyches and uproot the disease of selfish indulgent culture in its many forms. Regardless of the outer discussion, internally it is necessary to be free of violence, violence against oneself. To be driven by despair, or anger, or conditioned response will not give the good result.

We need to have the courage to have faith in ourselves, faith in the intuitive intelligence that brought forth this beautiful world in the first place. That creative force is everywhere, and within us. We do have the capacity to create something positive. To develop faith, not in some religious dogma, or technological panacea, but in our own intrinsic nature, is the counter agent to the despair, greed and selfish action that is driving us towards extinction.

Diebold Stories Increasing, 11 Universities Now Mirroring the Memos
Wendy Seltzer, an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said she has been contacted by about a dozen groups that received cease-and-desist letters. Among them is Online Policy Group, a nonprofit ISP that hosts the San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center, which published links to the data.

Seltzer encouraged them to defy the Diebold cease-and-desist letters.

"There is a strong fair-use defense," Seltzer said. "People are using these documents to talk about the very mechanism of democracy — how the votes are counted. It's at the heart of what the First Amendment protects."

In the article titled "Sexual Identity Hard-Wired by Genetics," Reuters reported on October 20 that one's sexual or gender identity is "wired into the genes," citing the new research by UCLA geneticist Eric Vilain and colleagues. According to Vilain, the findings would suggest that "sexual identity is rooted in every person's biology before birth" and that this knowledge may be used to ensure that intersex babies are assigned the correct gender.
