It's time Occupy Sudbury steps it up. We need some more radical tactics. More civil disobedience.

[leodanatristan]

Truth to power, keeps all of us on the path of light because the truth has no agenda it just is. Power to truth keeps all of us dumb down and in the dark, away from inlightement in a place where you can't make an objective decision.

Humanity needs an evolution that awakes it's spiritual conscnousness so that we all come together as one people, with all our freedoms and rights that we have today because we can not take our petty attitudes and differences to other civilizations among the stars.

@bodhisattva99 who ARE "the shareholders"? How can you get them to SHIFT their fundamental priorities? What will it require? Is it possible? Pitching a tent... civil disobedience... it's one thing... but 'all' you're asking for is a miracle. I have always believed it possible. What can you do to make is a reality? Words are not enough.

[bodhisattva99]

"ALL" we're asking for? What? We're not asking for a miracle... just a SHIFT in our fundamental priorities. That would be a miracle. People have been asking for that since before Jesus walked the earth... and it STILL hasn't happened. Why not? Ask that question and then come to terms with what it would take to get what it is you're asking for. It's admirable. It's just a pose. Be real. The world is real and so is your opposition. So be real. And good luck to you. I hope you succeed.
