It's not my wind VM, it's the collective (a dirty word to you I assume) minds, bodies, and human spirit of countless individuals interacting and working to creating a sustainable future together.

Powerful winds.

LOL!

Ayuveda wants equality for all, up until everybody starts exercising their equality individually. In other words, we can all be equal up to and until the point that an individual strays from the tow-line.

It's a Utopian fantasy to think we can transform society into a collective, where everybody has their equal role and puts for equal effort toward a common goal, while dismissing the notion that somebody(s) will find themselves more skilled/talented/innovative than the commoners and would want to elevate their power and importance "for the benefit of all". In the end, we would still wind up with a 1% ruling over the other 99%.

and human spirit of countless individuals interacting and working to creating a sustainable future together.

Bingo. Ayuveda never said they wanted equality for all except as in the realm of supporting the Communist beliefs of John Collier. A Utopian fantasy indeed.

In my time covering Occupy Wall Street I have seen anti-Semitism, black nationalism, class hatred, and threats of violence; there have been rapes, a few murders, and now some domestic terrorism.

They're just a bunch of typical people, except that they fancy themselves a cut above.

Charming how the conservative British writer cherrypicks his findings from a microcosm of day-to-day reality in America, as if those were something new and remarkable here.



And yes, "typical people", folks actually responding in these twisted, typical times.

Despite anyone's political biases or armchair theoretical opinions about the Occupy movement, it's their willingness to actively confront the corporatist state that DOES put them a cut above the rest.

It will be most likely be sustainable, as it has always been, despite the short sighted, hysterical Chicken Little attitude so prevalent. The joker in the deck is nuclear. The bombs and missiles wouldn't exist, though, without government, and the nuke power industry wouldn't exist in a free market, because the plants wouldn't be insured, if government hadn't forced the people to assume the liability for them.

Besides the financial liability, they have been forced to risk the actual physical danger, and bear the actual physical effects.

Even the weapons merchants, like Gen Dyn, GE, and Raytheon aren't threatening Iran; only government has that power and crazy desire.

Only government has the power to seek to have nuke power in Iran, and to force it upon the people. The Iranian people aren't consulted.

You keep saying the nuclear industry wouldn't be insured without the government, but without government, there wouldn't be any requirement for insurance.

Why does there need to be a requirenment for insurance? And is there one?

Yeah, they're responding to a rape scene with a fire hose. Charming.

Powerful winds.

do you apply this same principle at home?
do all members have equal say or is there a 'leader' in your home?
