Greece, Gaza and the Grand Drama

From Kathy Kelly's report for CounterPunch:

Greek activists who assemble every night in Athens' Syntagma Square have constructed an inspiring, effective means for developing free speech and determined, risk-taking action in a setting that has evolved to emphasize simplicity, sharing of resources and a clear preference for service rather than dominance. 

I leave Greece tonight with sincere regret that I didn't spend more time learning from these sturdy activists.

A grand drama is unfolding here in Greece, in Egypt, in Gaza, and throughout the world, which may end in sorrow or in jubilation largely depending on whether people of the United States are watching, and themselves getting ready to take the stage.
