Non-Profit Prophets

What do you think people would have posted, if there was the net, and blogging ability in the sixties?

What might people have done if they had today's technology, with their pooling passionate demands pulling for rights and civil justice?

A good soul I know said; "I'm happy to see the spread of awareness and people dedicating themselves to exposing the wrongs of humanity via net"

But the vast majority are more likely to use it for porn, gaming, gambling...or My-Face-Space-book-ing.

That's crazy maaaaaan.

What on earth are we doing?!

The net, and blogging, is the only voice and vehicle of action we have.

Freedom of speech was quickly taken care of in the bidding war for ownership.

Politics permeates every iota of industry. It's all control and command.

We do have the net...

for now, not forever.

Imagine, we just may look back and shake our heads at how we didn't fully utilize what we had at our finger tips cause we got caught up in playing and dinking around like kids diving for the candy falling from a pinata.

Contrary to what this might sound like, I am not hankering for some old time past I was never around to know.
It's the gist, the concept, the sense that people somehow came together once before that enthralls me.

Boundaries erased, total strangers agreed that it is simply and matter of factly unjust to have injustice.

And said so.

It's nice to think, if not witness, if we were less like the little kids scrambling for some temporary tossed sweeties, and weren't perpetually under-the-influence that we....

You and I, and millions around the world could actually move, at high speed

in unison, like a school of fish

and outsmart the nets

...using the net


just an unschooled thought swimming around my head
