GOOD FIRST STEP

7-24-08 … Arizona Republic … MAYORS AGREE NOT TO BUY BOTTLED WATER FOR CITIES …

The mere fact the bottle water purveyor industry even acknowledged this effort labeling it “sound-bite” environmentalism is in itself an achievement worthy of comment.

Only slightly beneath the surface a new paradigm is developing which challenges all forms of corporate dominion of our lives.

Arizona Republic 7-24-08This evolving paradigm clearly recognizes the inherent ultimate authority that resides in “us” to grant to others, i.e. government, corporations too, the ability to act along certain clearly defined lines and only within certain defined paths.

“We” – that’s you and me – grant to them, not the other way around.

Rights flow from us to them, “we” do not beg or plead on bend and knee.

They are free to term this action of ours however they choose, know it is the first of many “sound-bite” shots from us to be heard around our world.
