Paul Hawken, author of Blessed Unrest, discusses what he sees as the largest social movement in human history, and why that movement is so invisible to the media -- and itself.

By Terrence McNally, AlterNet. Posted June 26, 2007.

It will be the stroke of midnight for the rest of our lives. It is too late for heroes. We need an accelerated intertwining of the over 1 million nonprofits and 100 million people who daily work for the preservation and restoration of life on earth. ...The lan... read more

Kurt Vonnegut, author of Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse Five, Breakfast of Champions and most recently, Man Without a Country, passed away on Thursday. This is an article of his from In These Times that I hold particularly close to my heart because of his declaration of respect and admiration for librarians and their commitment to democracy and free speech. Cheers to a rabble rousing genius.

As an English Lit student and an avid film buff, I love it when other movie geeks find ways to tap into their indulgent side and turn films inside out, exposing the true genius behind them. The other day I tripped over a site that does just this to the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Enjoy!

Everyone's got a metaphor, and ours was the potluck dinner. If we were going to build a climate change movement, ... read more

We are going to the moon, that is not very far.
Man has so much farther to go within himself.

I have not been unaware of the political drama
going on, but I have not taken any sides because
politics to me, all of them seem rotten to the core
and all based on economics , not humanitarianism.
The suffering of the word seemed to me without
remedy except by what we could give individually.
I did not trust any movement or system...

...nothing changes the nature of man. I know too
well that man can only change himself psychologically,
and that fear and greed make him inhuman, and it
is only a change of roles we attain with each revolution,
just a change of men in power, that is all, the evil remains.

The personal life deeply lived always expands into
truths beyond itself.

-Diaries of Anais Nin

“Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable.”-Terence McKenna
