Hello friends!
just a quick note with 3 links...
=====================
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/currency/6152204/UN-wants-new-global-currency-to-replace-dollar.html
the world has big time money issues... and a real crash of the U$ Dollar has been nearly inevitable for years now... the time is drawing near.

Startling digital photographs paint a disturbing yet strangely seductive picture of American life today.
Statistics can be daunting and dry: 1,000,000 trees cut down every year; 9,000,000 American children without health insurance; 2,000,000 plastic bottles used every five minutes; 2,300,000 adults incarcerated in U.S. prisons. Renowned photographer Chris Jordan brings these staggering numbers to life in manipulated digital photographs that are at once alluring and shocking. A landscape of toothpicks, each representing a felled tree, stretches into the horizon; a looping maze of plastic cups reveal how many are used each day on airplane flights; fashioned from soda cans, a replica of a Seurat masterpiece becomes a lesson in waste; and thousands of Barbie dolls—representing the number of breast augmentations performed each year—combine to depict a woman’s torso. Filled with astonishing photographs of surprising beauty, this book, manufactured from recycled materials, helps us grasp visually the potential consequences of our culture of waste.

Cultural Creatives are potentially capable of bringing a major set of new values and rules, and some important new players, to the table precisely at the time when both political parties, the corporate sector, and the government are facing their lowest ebb in public credibility and trustworthiness.
big hugs and high hopes,

It is a critical time because we do not have very long to put new
solutions into place before the chaos of global warming, global
instability and violence start to take their toll.
This is the time of
maximum leverage for positive change.
big hugs and high hopes,
