I know this post is old but when I saw it I thought you might want to check out mine (for obvious reasons): www.stoptakingthebluepill.wordpress.com<br /><br />I post news that is aimed at waking people up from taking the blue pill.<br /><br />I totally agree with Gregg when he said "I think a little anarchy would be good for us if it led to dissolving the barriers to sanity and sustainability."

Every time I watch the Matrix, I equate it with our society and think about how we work to pay taxes to feed the government/corporations machine. If I thought the machine was doing any good, helping people, etc, I wouldn't mind so much. But the corruption and greed are so overwhelming that I wish I could pull out the plugs. I'm tired of working so someone else can be rich. Very very tired.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-80426818348313643642012-06-17T01:59:23.408-03:002012-06-17T01:59:23.408-03:00check out twelvestribes.com

Too many shades of grey involved. Also, can you suggest a plausible alternative for radical change you are suggesting that wouldn't involve all out anarchy?Alan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660019845176826106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-28368292330752468472010-05-24T19:01:36.486-03:002010-05-24T19:01:36.486-03:00Fantastic Post!Fantastic Post!Vic Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085821314300652375noreply@blogger.com
