It also gives the other an opportunity to help make that change. “Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.” ThinkingGivingKindFactsHelpingCoursesOpportunityBeliefSocialRolesRevolutionNeededBalanceHealthyDemandDeterminationTasksInstitutionsDefinitionsAggressiveAfflictionConfrontationUnhealthySocial Roles Author:Barbara Deming

The matter has become urgent since California voters rejected several tax-hiking ballot initiatives. Rather than taking the vote as a signal to dramatically curtail spending, the state turned to the feds. If they get a free pass, the politicians can avoid fixing any of their past mistakes or preparing California for the future.” IfsMatterStatesPastMistakeCuttingNeededBalancePoliticianTaxesVoteSpendingBudgetsCaliforniaFedsVotersHikingInitiativeRejectedSparesPreparingSignalsUrgentFixingBallotsPast MistakesBailoutsSpending Cuts Author:Peter Schiff
