This is my fourth or fifth revision of this blog. It is still a work in progress.

A place of departure might be asking the simple question: How do we begin to create a conversation about local organizing with a larger global vision in mind? This Freire Project is a good example, and we can participate in it in various ways. But there is something fundamentally empowering about starting your own shit that can make participation in Projects like this one substantially more meaningful. Consider the recent interviews conducted by Kincheloe posted on this cite's home page.

FIGHT! An eye for an eye. Right or wrong it doesn't matter. This is the message we send to the children of the world.

Is talking about difference now totally out of the question?

Should we stop and ponder what motivates violence?

What part does each individual play in allowing violent acts to occur in the world?

Questions, questions, questions! Are we ready for answers/alternatives? I would argue that alternatives are within each of us and we have an obligation to the children of the world and ourselves to constantly strive for alternatives.

A tribute to Joe Kincheloe, Peter McLaren & Henry Giroux…
