​The problem is gigantic, its global. Climate change is the symptom of the problem. The problem is human. Or more accurately, it is inhuman thinking, applied to everything. It is multinational. Its in our monetary policies. It governs our military. It writes our foreign policy. Its in everything else too.

The problem is huge, but the solution is quite small, its really like, 30 people. Or 120 people. Some number, people with faces and names. A community that teams up and with mutual support and mutual accountability, rules out the reliance on routine purchases that create the global ecological problem. We just do it. We do by sit-down strike. By declaring cease-buyer, by not driving. By just saying no to agribusiness purchases. By keeping records of all money spent.

Essentially, the solution is you.

wishing is a weak form of setting goals. but its kind of a fun way to fantasize a fictional storyline.​

I wish to see:

many small groups form that are set up to reduce child poverty, meet needs and support the mother-child bond. aim for 0-3?

be part of a think-tank group that practices as one of these groups. Theory: start with a circle of grand-parent role people. Those who have stability and legacy to bestow. then invite younger participants.

prove that this arrangement yields (in addition to happiness), measurable improvements in physical health

And. Then. it becomes clear that this is only one part of what I'd like to be a part of.  The social protocols that maintain that level of health are foundation to the larger project which is "the Game." The Game is a collaborate process for organizing our lives, to replace the stranglehold that consumer addictions have on society and this earth. The Game uses an online dashboard as part of the equipment we muster to express a better way of life. It merges into the Intentional Community movement. 

The safety-of-children aspect is pivotal and built-in. 

In my big imagination the Game also becomes a launching pad for multi-media involvement, an online platform that replaces the "facebook" experience, to totally upgrade that part of our shared reality. People start writing sit-coms with the Game as a fixture and feature and a whole-society emergence occurs, embodying the principles of sane living.

That is what I want to see happen.  I want to be a part of that community. Live there. Actually here.  In Kentucky.  Do all this here.  

​With my writing, I share a map for healthy consciousness, and show how proactive routines and ground rules in community can protect and enhance consciousness in people and their communities.  Safety and consciousness are closely linked. Parents often pretend that their children are safest when they are the most "under control."  The truth is that children, or anyone in a family, are safest when they have built-in "yes-way-out" options; combined with up-front agreements that all members of the family really are entitled to have their needs met.

Abuse patterns act like a contagious disease.  We are equipped with healthy urges to not succumb to these diseases. These social-immunity responses are innately present in all of us, especially children.  When I say we can end child abuse, I'm talking about leveling the domestic playing field, so that the forces of health are allowed to operate, and prove they are stronger than the force of the disease.

• If we examine the structure of a no-way-out scenario
• and consider common types of assault patterns
• and then set a goal to build ways-out into domestic daily life
• we can nurture healthy responses,
• do massive damage control,
• continually lessening the impact of inherited family dysfunction
• equipping the generally dependent to have options
• within defined boundaries
• which allow continuity of family bonds
• yet discontinuity of the toxicity that these familial bonds can carry.
