Today
Become Fluid
Beliefs are better used as devices of progression as opposed to fixed world views. So, it's not the belief but the system that maintains the idea that beliefs should be static that needs to be addressed. Beliefs should be flexible and breakable as newer information is assimilated. I try, and often fail, to live my life as a testament to this (BE the change we want to see in the world, not FIGHT for change).

All institutions that are considered static, fixed, unwavering, or otherwise hostile or indifferent to new information, are bad regardless if the institution was established in the East or West. That is not to say that some institutions are void of great wisdom and lifestyle methods. It is important to note that great wisdom and lifestyle methods can, and should, come about without the use of static institutions.

Art
Introducing Aaron Ridgeway to the Postscript Society.
Poetry
and he fancied himself an artist
made of masculine prance and quiet sputters
as if smoke ring talent where a trait to be admired.
by the works of others before he,
by the tear and thickness of artists hands,
those lines river snaked through canyons of depth
and his was atop those mountainsides, carving the faces of great men.
how’s a smoke ring volcano, boy?
how’s the lament of the Virginian’s eyes?
that brow so subtle in statement,
as if to speak:
“an artist tells no lies.”
- Eric St. Pierre

A Prison System for You and Me to Live In
A New York police officer fed up with the corrupt nature of the law enforcement system decided to take matters into his own hands and make audio recordings of police officials. What was revealed in those tapes exposes law enforcement big wigs as liars and manipulators. The tapes show how the crime rate was manipulated to receive more funding from the federal government and how crime victims were harassed and told to keep quiet about their experience.

The Orion Project
From the website:
"Imagine a world where every home and village has its own clean source of electrical energy, free from the cost of fossil fuels, nuclear power or a centralized electric grid.
Imagine every means of transportation running off of clean power plants, using no source of fuel and creating no pollution.
Imagine the developing world blossoming with these new technologies and the equatorial rain forests protected from slash and burn subsistence farming and logging.
Imagine all inter-city transportation above the ground and the millions of acres paved over with highways freed for productive agriculture and recreation.
Imagine all manufacturing being clean-fuel sourced, using no-cost or low-cost energy.
Imagine the possibility of 100% recycling because the energy cost of transporting recycled materials, processing them and scrubbing pollution out of the air and water approaches zero."
