Akin, King, Walsh, Mourdock. A plurality of Republican nominees for the U.S. Senate. The National Republican Senatorial Committee. Now, the chairman of the Republican Doctors Caucus. Every time the GOP claims to have purged rape mythology, rape theology, and rape extremism, another congressman opens his mouth. What worries me isn't how many Republicans have repeated this stuff in public, but how many more believe it.

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth?s laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs?as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
