Thoughts about this forum

I think/hope that in this initial phase this forum becomes a place where people can find each other sharing the values (not really well defined yet) expressed in the video.
Of course I had a deep emotional reaction especially from Carlos' thoughts but there is a lot of room for personal interpretation at this point and likely other people have other ideas about the values. For instance Carlos was very careful with the use of the word faith and I am very grateful for that. I hope that faith in the religious manner will not become the major aspect of this movement.
At some point someone or some group has to come up with an idea what to do. I see at least two opportunities here
i) people with very different backgrounds (culture, religion, education) come together. From handymen to college professors.
ii) people from all over the world come together and who knows can kick local government asses if necessary by non violent means of course.
This could potentially become a global force perhaps with a lot of influence and leverage.

I really hope that this forum will not be misused by someone or some group to make individual profit. I am somewhat concerned about the fact that there is something like "store" and also some potential fees for some premium membership. As soon as I realize that there is a commercial background I will leave.
Cheers,
Christian
