Move forward, not left and right |
|
Hey all DU'ers. I've started a group that focuses on the goal of moving forward, not left or right. So many people in this country simply throw insults at the other side and never actually move forward with any key issues. I'd like to change that, with your help. I believe that a group of informed, concerned citizens can facilitate change. Just like yesterday's Bloody Sunday anniversary showed us, people working together towards a common goal can yield significant results.
Our group had a skype chat last Saturday and will have another one this coming Sunday. Please check out rooftoprevolutionaries.blogspot.com for more info as well as meetup.com/Rooftop-Revolutionaries.
Hope to see you this Sunday the 14th @ 5pm PST on skype.
A silent people is a helpless people. We must speak for ourselves.

1. Maybe if everyone works together, some Taoistic goodness is imparted upon then nation |

I guess it doesn't matter what they work on or work for. Lets have socials and bake sales. A movement devoid of ideology, and subsequently purpose, is sure to save the world.

3. It sets an end goal as an ideal |
|
To work "forward" in any direction sets no goal besides unification. A movement in an ambiguous direction without goals seems somewhat purposeless. There is no big picture besides "working together".
