Chuck:
Time will tell...
FYI...
Here is an analogy.
You have a daughter getting ready to take a trigonometry test in HS, but something happens in the area and all electricty even battery power is knocked out, so that electric digital slide rule you gave her will not work,
but the child next to her has one of the old fashioned slide rules and knows how to work it.
Now your child may do good on the test or not but the test is one that is timed, so who will complete their test before everyone else?
The child with the slide rule and the knowledge of it's use!
The occupy Wall street, connects with occupy Oakland, connects with protestors in Cairo, connects with Occupy Toronto, connects with Occupy London,
becuase they are networking and understand that no movement in this texting, internet facebook, twitter age works in isolation.
Newark Blacks suffer cause Blacks in Oakland amy not know or how to network to help, Blacks in Harlem suffer becuase Black folks in Phille may not know how to network to help, in Port Au prince, or Lesotho, or Detroit.
We are all catching the same hell but have not mastered the scineces of Pan Afriacn or Black nationaistic communication and networking;
for instance, gun violence is an ish in Brownsville Brooklyn but not in Crown Heights Brooklyn, but it is an ish in Newark and probably in St louis as well.
Slum Lords depriving folks of heat and hot water may be a Harlem ish but not a Bronx ish where Chavez program still provides cheap oil fro heating in innercity housing, but it may be an ish for Black folks in Oklahoma, or Colorado.
These small movements and protests we engage in, go but so far without national input, but we have the technology to do it, and quiet is kept, we can and have networked things even without and before technology cause if we could have had the numbers from coast to coast on the low down before the mafia took it over,
why could we not have community networked support as well?
If we had the pyramid scheme on the quiet, why could we not have a national Black children's defense and protection agency underground as well?
