Goodnight

My country tis of thee

They’ve ripped off your liberty

For which we stand

They’ve mined our purple mountain majesty

They’ve raped our fruited plains

While we were chasing sex and money

They stole our land of milk and honey

They ripped up our rule of law

Nobody cares no more

They replaced hope with fear

Sold out what was dear

"Rob Kall's book Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution is both a welcomed manifesto and a guide for rethinking the power of human agency, understanding the connections that both make us human and legitimate human planetary relations. Moreover it is a powerful call for providing the ideas, social practices, and relations that make human connections possible, enable them to work together from the bottom up, and to transform such connections into a powerful movement in which people take control of their lives and create a better future for everyone."

Henry Giroux, Director of the McMaster Centre for Research in the Public Interest, author of Zombie Politics and Culture in the Age of Casino Capitalism, America’s Education Deficit and The War on Youth, and dozens more.
