We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

FBI Agents Killed in Virginia Were Investigating the Boston Bombing

Click here to access article by JG Vibes from IntelliHub.
Two FBI agents died in a “fall” from a helicopter in Virginia this week.  Days later it has emerged that these agents were involved in the arrest of  Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
The Boston bombing incident is beginning to remind me so much of what happened after the Kennedy (John) assassination: so many people associated with the assassination died under mysterious or questionable circumstances.
