"Today, we see the seeds of the better society growing up through the cracks in the hegemonic facade everywhere, sprouting forth with renewed vigor after an imposed dormancy. We will not be the consumers of this world, but its co-creators; we will not be witnesses to its destruction, but participants in its resurrection. Now, with peace in our hearts and power in our hands, the time to reclaim both ourselves and our world is upon us. This is our generational task, our shared responsibility, and our best hope for salvation. Let us meet it willingly, together."
Very fine thoughts. Never happen. I hope I'm wrong. I think only personal salvation is possible, not collective salvation, in the manner suggested by Norman O. Brown in Love's Body and even obliquely suggested by Voltaire.
