In reading a friend's facebook (by Mercedes) I saw this shocking news has given me much food for thought. http://blogs.elpais.com/oppenblog/2011/01/revoluci% C3% B3n-en-la-biblioteca.html
"Stony Stratford, a quiet market town 90 miles northwest of London, Milton border Keynes may end up as a role model for those who defend the revolution peaceful. His goal: to save the town's public library.
Actually, we're not as helpless as we are told. We have a great power that are our ideas and a great tool that is action. I just wrote a post on Power of Intention, which is worthless if it is just that, in intention and nothing more. Without action there is nothing more than blah, blah, blah. And users of this library have understood English well. We live an extraordinary era and for the first time in many centuries, while the corporations pull the strings of our lives, creating and destroying our jobs and taking over as we are and have, emerges a glimpse de esperanza en forma de brote rebelde que llega de los cinco rincones del orbe: un octogenario que escribe un discurso incendiario y lo leen millones de personas, una pequeña población que retira 12.000 ejemplares de una biblioteca amenazada de cierre... ¡Qué gratas noticias! Podemos comunicarnos, expresar nuestro inconformismo y por supuesto: acudir a las barricadas, como en los viejos tiempos.
