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.

It appears to me that this website is the best source of information regarding the issue of detention of Julian Assange who is presently in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Bookmark it. This post is the latest news regarding Assange. I plan to re-post every new article on this ContraSpin and Courage websites until Assange is free.
