... I believe the best thing we can do to empower our nation (whether it's the US, or Canada, or whatever) is to empower ourselves. And, as we work to empower ourselves, help others to do the same. This action produces a chain reation of organic growth and wellbeing.
... To be honest, i don't believe that people CAN look or act very far beyond their own immediate life circles. We are each like the cells of a body. The cells of my foot cannot do much more to support the cells of my hand than to simply be the best possible foot cells they can be. A cell exists of its own accord and for its own purpose. The key to the unity of my body is that its purpose is in alignment with the purpose of all other cells. ...
... But when we grew up, we exerted our own authority over ourselves and rejected the authority of our parents.

I've said this to many people, but i feel like my words keep falling on deaf ears:
What we need is an individual plan of action that we can work on collectively. It's like the saying "Think Globally, Act Locally". What i mean is, the more self-reliant we are, the more autonomy and power we have as individuals. When we were children, we lived under our parents authority and had to do what they said. ...
Hi!!! I was a bit concerned about the Troy Davis thing but I've heard conflicting stories on the state of the evidence for his trial. A guy who was anti-death penalty in the Guardian, (a left of center paper in the UK), claimed the case on him was still the same mostly. About the Palestinian state thing; I don't know that story. U.S. has allowed Palestinian state in the past; its terrible situation
thank you for your very inspiring video, they are powerful enough, more so now than ever, thank you for mentioning Troy Davis, one in a long line of political prisoners .....
We've become slaves of the machine - which is ironic. The new technology is made available before we've come to understand the older versions. We're bombarded by new toys and new applications that make us focus on trivial things. If nothing, all of this has isolated us from the word. This isn't the enlightened future that some sci-fi authors imagined. It's becoming the nightmare Alvin Toffler predicted in "Future Shock".
It seems the more technology and information we have, the less we actually accomplish. But I hope that I'm doing my part online. And btw, kudos for the final line. <3
good points! but what is the solution? you have complained alot int he past but nothing changes in canada either,so,,,,,,,,,,,,everyone is guilty and everyone enables the system
I don't just complain, i've always voted, and i try to speak up when i see injustice, but we can do more, of course, we can always do more. I put my face on youtube , thats something, isnt it?
@darksideofthenation Yes, all these are something!!! By the way, I wonder if you have pretty good one on one communication skills. Have you considered a career in counceling or social work? Its a hard job but you are compassionate. Do you have good listening skills? Can you be creative? You care a lot. The chanllenge there would be helping people to use the resources already available. Channel ur passion into your career? What is your education in.
psychology and poliltical science, i am currently working now, so i am happy, who knows if it would last, we live in precarious time, everyone is on their own.
@darksideofthenation Awesome!!! I'm very happy to hear that. Thanks for being so kind as to let me know. As for the "precarious time thing", join the club. I'm working on contract, hoping it will be renewed. I have some connections but in the policial area, I might be relatively useless. :(. I pay 40 dollars a year for Peter's new jobs; its worth it for IT. Occasionally see other areas. ;).

Troy Davis was a cold blooded killer and the other Arabs don't care and won't help the Palistinans so why should we ?
