Welcome to 60s & Further

Who are the 99%?

All of us who were told that if we worked hard and saved money
we could retire with few financial worries
They forgot to tell us about the tech bubble, followed by the housing bubble,
followed by recession and anthropocentric global climate change.
They told us technology and medicine would save us.
They forgot to mention the CO2 issue and environmental degradation;
the cost of healthcare and the deadly side effects of pharmaceuticals.

They talked us into believing that our homes would appreciate enough
to buy retirement and that putting money in the stock market was better than a savings account.
They forgot to mention that only insiders, brokers, players, and the already wealthy
get rich from the stock market. For the rest of us it is more like carnie midway games—there’s no way to win.

Our 401Ks, pension funds, IRAs, and Roths are built on a house of cards,
but it is too late: we’re trapped in the game.
We hope the market will go up even though we despise the thought of corporate rule.
We are at the mercy of the 55 wall $treeters who peer over the balconies and laugh at our angst.
The corporations and the banks are sitting on piles of our money.
They withhold jobs, pad their pockets, and offer us pink slips and .03% interest.
And what are we told to do about this financial crisis?
Go shopping!! Spend money! What money? We don’t have jobs!
We can barely afford groceries.
Capitalism has failed democracy.
Let’s prove we can rebuild this nation with a new ethic,
an economic prosperity based on creativity and progress not greed and development.
Let’s create an inclusive vision of the future where education and social justice are
better choices than war and wall $treet.
“We’re citizens not consumers.”
I read that on the Global Revolution live feed chat. It’s my new motto. I am the 99%.

"When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century,
the city of Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally,
by a shouting watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan’s Cathedral.

In twentieth-century society,
the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies
out of tune and out of their natural rhythms.
This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies
adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment.

The Manifesto 2000 for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence
was written by the Nobel Prize Peace Laureates,
in order to create a sense of responsibility starting on a personal level;
it is not an appeal or petition addressed to a higher authority.
It is the responsibility of each and every individual to put into practice
the values, attitudes and forms of behaviour which inspire the culture of peace.
Everyone can contribute to this aim within their family,
their area, their town, their region and their country by promoting non-violence,
tolerance, dialogue, reconciliation, justice and solidarity on a daily basis.


The Manifesto 2000 Pledge

Recognising my share of responsibility for the future of humanity,
especially for today's children and those of future generations,
I pledge - in my daily life, in my family, my work, my community, my country and my region - to:

1. “Respect all life.” Respect the life and dignity of each human being
without discrimination and prejudice.


2. “Reject violence.” Practice active non-violence, rejecting violence in all its forms:
physical, sexual, psychological, economical and social,
in particular towards the most deprived and vulnerable such as children and adolescents.

3. “Share with others.” Share my time and material resources in a spirit of generosity
to put an end to exclusion, injustice and political and economic oppression.

4. “Listen to understand.” Defend freedom of expression and cultural diversity,
giving preference always to dialogue and listening without engaging in
fanaticism, defamation and the rejection of others
.
5. “Preserve the planet.” Promote consumer behaviour that is responsible and development practices
that respect all forms of life and preserve the balance of nature on the planet.


6. “Rediscover solidarity.” Contribute to the development of my community,
with the full participation of women and respect for democratic principles,
in order to create together new forms of solidarity.

These six priorities show us that the culture of peace spirals outward,
that it is a way of doing things that propagates to all levels.
It begins within oneself and the home, spreads out to the community,
then on to the regional, national and international levels.
Cultivating peace is like cultivating plants in that they both take root and grow.

Can you look at your moment to moment and laugh with the
cosmic humor of trying to make it happen faster?
  It can take a very long time, all that resistance to serious change.
We get used to thinking of how it should be, what is expected,
looking to improve to be better.
It can be the hardest thing to accept,
smile, smell the ambient air, taste the moment, and enjoy the dance.
Not saying I’ve got it anywhere near down.
Just, you know, bit by bit,
easing the attention from some goal or guilt to simply feeling into a gentler frame.
