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.

Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

This likely could mean a devastating nuclear conflagration. The ruling directors appear to be stuck in 20th century thinking. And it seems that most of my fellow Americans are fast asleep or busy shopping in the malls across the US.
