Visit me at A Yappy Trade Barrier for my bio. I have 572 posts, and counting. That, and my proper bio (About Me) should tell you all about me. I'm anti-corporatocracy, anti-money, a coffee geek, leftwing but not godless. I'm not connected to any person or group. I'm single, without dependents, 60 (2016), a non smoker, not a druggy and have one small stroke under my belt. And I'm a wage slave.

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."

Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD, author of the Coyote trilogy that discusses healing practices from Lakota, Cherokee, and Cree traditions and how they intersect with conventional medicine
