This is from a recent interview with Grace Lee Boggs, 96 year old Chinese American Activist thru the 50's, 60's, 70's, still, lives in Detroit, married to a African American, knew Malcolm X, MLK, etc.
"What advice would you give to a young activist?
I would say to a young activist, ‘Do visionary organizing. Turn your back on protest organizing and recognize how that leads you more and more to defensive operations, whereas visionary organizing gives you the opportunity to encourage the creative capacity in people and it’s very fulfilling.’
Can you tell me about your involvement with the urban agricultural movement?
I was one of the founders of a program called Detroit Summer, which involved the young people in rebuilding, redefining and respiriting our city. That attracted the attention of African American elders who saw the vacant lots as an opportunity to grow food for the community....(and) created a fantastic urban agricultural movement.."
Thus will the new culture/civilization be born out of creativity instead of protest.

Dear Hotmail, if I can't find a real human to talk to regarding the hacking of my hotmail account, I will have no option other than to delete you from my life.

My April-born turns to me and says, "Gas prices are my birthday. That's not good. I wish they were your birthday." Since I was born in January, I wish that too.
