...to the more general efforts I want to have this blog be the initial catalyst to getting my own work started on. There is a lot of tinkering and playing with the capabilities of blogger that I have to just spend time on.
And before too very much longer I want to start building the companion Web Site to this blog so I can link here to more lengthy material (essays, articles, policy proposals, fund development, organizational framework stuff and whatnot) that will help move what I am proposing forward into the more real world "bricks and mortar" stages of its development.
Because, in the last analysis, at the end of the day, when we get down to brass tacks- or real nitty gritty, if you will- the purpose of much of my writing is to propose serious grass roots political organization all across America the Beautiful in order that "We the people..." might more successfully carry out the great work of our generation, or epoch more like it, that must- in order to be successfully undertaken at all or in time (given the magnitude and severity of the various crises and challenges we as a Nation face)- begin with a radical re-invigoration of our Democratic traditions.
And as I say at many times and places in my writing: this specific political movement I call for must, I believe, be undertaken peacefully utilizing the rich democratic traditions that are there for us as citizens to utilize for just such a momentous time in our history as we currently live in. However, that being said- the need for rapid and radical evolutionary transformation of the social, economic, and political aspects of our society must be approached and treated by all who participate as nothing short of another stage of our ongoing Democratic Experiment and perhaps even a true Second American Revolution.
