All I Need To Do Is Persuade One Billion People That They Love Life, Their Children and Their Planet More Than Wasting Their Lives On A Senseless Rat Race.

That’s my personal mission. Actually, more than a billion people already feel this way; they’ve just been distracted and fooled into feeling powerless.

Maybe I just need to find an opportunity to be heard by a really big audience. Because I am absolutely certain that the ideas I’ve chosen to fight for would get huge support — worldwide. Leaders everywhere in business and government and media would hate them. But everyone who loves their children and wants them to live on a habitable planet and have better lives than previous generations…

Well, they’d all be supportive, no — excited — about these ideas. They might still have doubts that they were possible, but I can prove that historically such things HAVE not only been possible, but big changes like I’m fighting for have happened. Many times.

Furthermore, those ordinary groups of people with no authority left blueprints of how to get it done. We can absolutely do this. The question is whether we will. And I don’t mean the other guy. The question is whether YOU will. Because others will follow if we simply get enough people and attention to be visible.

A Vision and An Attitude

Over the past year or so, I’ve been filling in the gaps to form a vision and a plan. The effort is ongoing, but there’s enough for us to see the promised land. The vision is an idea and a group called The Saners.

It’s interesting that, nowadays, politicians no longer do “the vision thing.” They don’t even pretend they have a plan or an objective. But WE do. And you can’t beat something with nothing.

The Saners core vision is this:

1. It is literally insane to destroy — or allow anyone else to destroy — the planet that you and everyone you love call home.
2. Anyone who has ever held power did so only with the active support of many, many people. When enough people (or a critical few) withdraw support, that leader is powerless.
3. The people we have been supporting — even nice people — are part of systems…
