Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Multi-neighborhood Cohousing - are they Ecovillages?? : Protest.....

[Martin Sheehy (martinsheehy]

As I look at TV today and see the MASSIVE response across the Nation re the ' 
immigration issue ' ( who organized these demonstrations at such short notice?) 
I can only marvel at the ' power of the people '.
   
  CoHousers are ' naturals ' for protest & I wonder why, as grass-roots, we 
could not protest the graft in Congress, the ' insider trading ' at the 
Congressional level, the, what is laughably called, Health'care' system, the 
War, etc., etc.?
   
  Mountains could be moved!.

I think you may underestimate the power of community. In my 
experience, there is no gang quite as powerful as a gang of 
cohousers. I have heard many examples from across the country.
