The synopsis and my perspective on the summer of dreams and nightmares after the jump.
The beginning of the end during midsummer dream: No time
like the present for a revolution
2011, the year of change, I see it, I feel it. Something’s
up. Do you? It has been a long time coming and it with the world getting
smaller and smaller, change is abrupt as it is immediate. It is true that we do
feel some revolutions more than others. Some not right off the bat. I still
haven’t been selected into the inner circles of Google Plus. But, more importantly, these waves of change
are affected through whatever we eat, drink and breathe, when we talk on the
phone, surf, chat and Skype on internet. With the world and its future hanging
in the balance of every crucial decision that is being made from not only the
most powerful men (and it is men making these decisions), companies and
institutions in the world. But, does the same go for ourselves: The full-time
worker, the part-time worker, or even the non-worker at all? Right now, many
major revolutions are off to the races. Both Green revolutions (see last issue)
are in gaining ground, Gay/Lesbian rights are joyfully making headway, minorities,
since the 60s, are being treated better than ever. If there were no
revolutions, there would be no machine. There would be no machine without
revolutions. There is no dream without a nightmare.
