A Rosy Reminder
I've been reading Cornel West's book "Democracy Matters" and 68 pages into it I read something lovely that I would like to share with you.
"Democracy is always a movement of an energized public to make elites responsible- it is at its core and most basic foundation the taking back of one's powers in the face of the misuse of elite power. In this sense, democracy is more a verb than a noun- it is more a dynamic striving and collective movement than a static order or stationary status quo."
You heard the man, now get moving.
