As I look back over Peace Meme entries from the past two years, I'm taken back to the emotional, yet questionably effective, peace demonstrations I attended as I first began this blog. One thing that occurs to me, looking back, is that every time I went to a protest or march, there were always throngs of people shilling for their own pet causes, whether it be shutting down nuclear plants or coal power, impeaching the president, freeing some unjustly jailed dissident, or protesting against FOX News or Wal-Mart or China. All of these may have been worthy causes, but they were all about being AGAINST, AGAINST, AGAINST, or ANTI, ANTI, ANTI -- it got to be mind-numbing after a while.

Great find Coastal...I checked out the that blog's other links...conjurs some very interesting questions about the potential for liberal growth...but, thankfully, comes to the same conclusion as I had many, many years ago: Destroying a society you want to 'fix' is never the solution...governments have evolved slowly, and require SMALL changes to fine tune. Drastic changes rarely work as everything is in a zero-sum balance...ergo...anytime one person benefits...someone else loses. Regardless whether it's within a socio-economic, academic, land, military or even religious or ethnic framework...all sides need to be viewed when legislating or advocating for political or social change.

This guy got it right. Capitalism will never go away...it will inevitably overtake socialist or communistic governments & philosophically leaning organizations. The way to effect change is through example. If a person really BELIEVES their life philosophy is "the best path"...through business, they can demonstrate the benefits of their belief...and prove that it is an economically viable path.
