I kind of sensed that point of view while I was trying to verbalize my thoughts... and that was part of the difficulty I experienced. I kept feeling that the words I was putting down could be interpreted as just "more" of what was already so of our world.. .. when my sense is that something very important is changing and that the changes will be huge and noticeable in the fairly near future. Both I and Margaret Mead are focusing on the way in which some changes come into being rather than the changes themselves. My sense, which I am trying to articulate, is that we are witnessing a radical change in the way in which changes come into being. The process that Margaret Mead described will still exist, and will still be a huge player in the game, but another player, a hot rookie, is coming on the field. Matt,

“Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. � — Margaret Mead
