      <description>&lt;div&gt;the world is dying and we are becoming machines.  the problem we are facing in this day in age is an infrastructure problem.  noone has come up with any possible alternative to our problems but i may have the answer.  The problem i've targeted is capitalism and money.  These are two things that native americans didnt rely on.  Private property wasnt a native american idea.  They believed in communal land managment, balence, and harmony.  Capitalism leads to poverty, selfishness, and possibly extinction.  We will be fighting for our lives in a system that grows off competition.  What we need is a system that grows in cooperation.  I have figured out an alternative to capitalism.  I am talking about building a particapatory society based on volunteerism.  Using the internet and other modes of mass communication its possible to coordinate a democratic grassroots America.  First we need to build a volunteer website where organizations go and ppl go to get involved with oneanother.  There needs to be a rating system so the best organizations find their way to the top of the list.  This would extremely help the volunteer movement which could replace money and the capitalist system if we all worked together to stop it.  I mean which sounds better; an elite ruling over the material world, or ur brothers and sisters building concensus and communal ownership of the land and resources?
&lt;br/&gt;       I have a solution to overpopulation. Build cities above the sea powered by the tides, wind, and sun. Build these cities close enough to land so that ppl can go back to land easily. With the majority of ppl living in these cities, the land would grow wild again and become habitat for all the species we have left. Our main focus would be on creating wonderful cities for the populations and on growing gardens the size of cities to get lost in. Food should be free, the plants grow it for us for free.
&lt;br/&gt;      We dont have political power because only the elite can run for office.  I say we replace the outdated representative politics with an internet based direct democracy.  Grassroots style, local control.  If we dont have this political revolution, the world will be run by elite facists that want to kill 80% of the population.  Karl Marx determined capitalism to be a system based on exploitation and class warfare.  We can end poverty by growing enough food and producing enough clothes to care for the entire world and it can be done entirely with volunteers.  
&lt;br/&gt;      According the bible, god gave us a garden in the begining.  I have a strong feeling that we just need to get the garden back and have it be the main focus of our civilization.  We should be reconnecting with nature and praying to plants.  We wouldnt need cars.  The land could be wild and free.  If we want to save the world we need to perserve it.  Community action and grassroots planning is what we need for political power.  You can protest all you want but it doesnt change a thing.  We need to build a new political system of for and by the ppl.  I believe this revolution can be done peacefully.  It was our purpose on this earth to make change.  People power.  Dont get turned into machines.  Do you think the world could last another hundred years in competition for our last natural resources? I think we need to create a utopia based on volunteerism use social networking to coordinate grassroots activity. Shouldn't we be sharing, caring, and cooperating to save the planet from going extinct?
&lt;br/&gt;      We are living as wage slaves and we dont have a politcal voice.  Its time to change all that.  The reason ppl get cynical or skeptical is cause they are disenfrancised from the political process.   Be a postive voice for change.  Live the dream.  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>learn the secrets of channeling chi through ur body's meridians</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/worldcare/thread/49479d8e-be3a-48e8-b23c-4f03610cc06c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;i first learned about chi while studying Tai Chi and from reading the i ching.  Now i've mastered some areas of moving chi by intention with the mind and i'd like to share some of them with you.  Press inbetween your eyebrows for 20-30 seconds and feel your upper chest with ur mind.  You should feel chi begin to flow into your chest from your 3rd eye.  The next goal of moving that chi is to get it into the stomach.  The way i've figured out how to do this is by saying chants.  Say the words Tai   Chi    Un...over and over again till you feel the chi begin to rest in your stomach.  I use this practice like 30 times a day.  By saying the words tai, you feel ur upper chest, by saying chi, you feel your upper stomach, by saying un, you feel your lower stomach.  When you bring your awareness on these three words, chi is able to pass by your minds intention to where its directed.   IF you get pain in your hands chi can resolve that too.  press the middle finger to the thumb with strength and move ur wrist around of the opposite hand that has pain.  after 20 seconds you should feel chi flow down your opposite arm and into your finger tips.  Thats always a fun one.  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>great massive gardens the size of cities</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/worldcare/thread/cb54b3b8-fcb2-482e-96c0-3c8a1050b43c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;gardening should replace most of the slave wage system.  gardens provide food, clothing, habitat, and work to keep us busy.  Its a place for kids to grow up in to learn to empathize with nature and to harmonize ourselves.  It says in the bible when god created man that man was given a garden.  well thats what we need i feel.  We need gardens the size of cities for ppl to go and get lost in.  We'd have to end private property and begin planning these gardens as a community.  Everything should be planned as a community.  We need a grass roots government.  &lt;/div&gt;
