Riots on the streets of Tottenham and Birmingham
Shootings in Syria,demonstrations in Egypt,civil war in Libya
Chaos in Yemen,starvation in Somalia-
we see yet cannot change.Witness and participate
One world getting smaller .Old theories crack,break,destroy.
Corruption in Russia and China allows destruction of civil rights.
In England,they arrested anarchists BEFORE the last Royal Wedding started.
Wars in Iraq,Afghanistan can no longer be afforded.Yet they continue.
Core question is -what do we (in common)value?
Answers vary according to wealth ,status ,expectations-
basic food,shelter,work as our foundations.Half our world lack these.
The rest worry about protecting theirs.There is no bubble of safety.
No gated community that can resist hacking or data theft.
What do we have in common now that old values-banks,property,wealth-
stock markets crash overnight?.This means more than recession-
it challenges the core values of our comm/unity.If wealth creation is corrupt
with access limited to a tiny few-what will the rest do?Riot?Overthrow governments?
It does not change the unanswered question-what do we have in common?
And how will we ensure that all of us survive these changes?
