I'm just another concerned citizen disgusted with the status quo of corruption and misery perpetrated upon us all by a craven neo-feudal system of predatory global capital.
I would like to see the protests, demonstrations, and civil disobedience scaled up to millions of us in the streets on a permanent basis. I hope my words can help to ignite the spark to bring about true justice and freedom for the unnecessary sufferings inflicted upon the 99%.

I guess I first became politically aware when I came of age during the Vietnam war. I was totally against it, and made my feelings known publically at the Deep South high school I attended. During Moratorium Day while there, I wore a black armband to school to show support for solidarity against the war. I was summarily escorted off campus and sent home to remove the armband and return the next day without it. I complied because I wanted to graduate. I've been engaged in progressive causes ever sense, but haven't yet expressed my convictions to their fullest potential.

I'm hoping to work on realizing that potential more and more...

I'm very inspired by the Occupy movement and the writings of Chris Hedges.

I'm 60 years old and live in San Jose CA with my wife and our two mongrels.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we can?t avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
