YOUR Movement Continues By A. Artemis If I were to map out a diagram of America's response to Wall Street right now, it would look like this: There would be several X's scattered randomly across the page. Each X would have an amorphous amoeba shape around it. The entirety of enclosed X's would themselves in turn, be surrounded by a gigantic amoeba shape. Maybe an enterprising artist could create this diagram. At any rate, here's what each component would symbolize. Each X would be a facilitator. The amoebas surrounding each X would be the participants contributing to the movement, who gather around a particular facilitator. The beauty of it is, the shape changes. It is not a fixed, perfect sphere. Contributors can come and go as they please, much like the extensions of itself which an amoeba makes; and the momentum of the movement continues. Even the facilitators can interchange with anyone else, evaporating when not needed, and the movement continues. The sum total of all of these contributors are themselves, the larger overall amoeba shape. Again, changing, imperfect, and magnificently effective. As I pondered this diagram, it occurred to me that it is not just a diagram of occupiers. It is also a diagram of investors with integrity. No pyramids, no perfect spheres. Just people of conscience, who wish to manage their substantial means, to create an America where there is no such thing as poverty. Where anyone in the middle class can indeed, acquire wealth if they work hard, smart, and so choose. These investors with integrity must manage owned assets meaningfully, against a backdrop of other investors not at all so inclined. (It's FUN to oppress!) But these investors of conscience contribute to the creation of such an America in any milieu in which they find themselves: In investment clubs, coffee klatches, social circles, and the corporate environments in which they find their work and in some cases, even purpose in life. These investors too, have replaceable facilitators. They too, form a loose-knit and evolving overall group. Letting go of obsolete and perhaps traditional structure, the momentum of the same movement continues They too, are imperfect and magnificently effective. The after 5 crowd at typical Occupy groups across the USA is blessed with the particularly dedicated contributors which - pardon the pun - occupy BOTH the investor and protestor categories. Not everyone can be so lucky: Participants contribute in whatever ways they find themselves reasonably able. The overall theme which shines through, is effort by all contributors toward the greater good. Likewise with the Occupy Movement in cities, towns, and rural areas all across America. Each Occupy group is part of a larger whole. It has as needed, replaceable facilitators, occupiers, and is ever changing, imperfect, and magnificently effective. Likewise with the ripple-out effect across international currency exchanges. There are groups of integrity-led people in every government around the world, aspiring to return to a lawful, stable, currency system devoid of loan shark induced, ever escalating, poverty-manufacturing, debt. Say what you will, but these dedicated public servants are ever changing, imperfect, and magnificently effective. And the movement continues.. . . . What overall insight emerges? ALL the economic-solution oriented people are trying to do the same thing! And even trying to do it the same way! What role should government play, in preventing wasteful debt-creating spending? One of the values this movement promotes is economic justice. You achieve that by tying any funding into Report Cards exclusively from those claimed served, AFTER they no longer need or want the allegedly provided services. Whatever funding anyone votes, or shows support in any way in favor of, should be based EXCLUSIVELY upon a Report Card system coming from YOU, The individual the funded entity keeps telling everyone it serves. This author's own Report Card examples can be viewed separately. Agree? Disagree? Either way, YOUR movement continues. A. Artemis, author A_Artemis9@yahoo.com
