I was just flicking through the link-gathering at my old blog (over at Blogger) when I came across a link worth including here.
It’s a very detailed analysis of a painting called Cookham Resurrection, or more properly The Resurrection in Cookham Churchyard. It’s a magnificent painting, very English indeed. Even though Cookham today is a prosperous commuter-village and not a timeless village community, its idealised past has a magnificent memorial.
I would have done more to update this blog today, but then Weboggle happened to me.
A good deal of this weblog will be my musings on the possibility of creating a broad-based democratic movement, to bring together the different voices on the internet and elsewhere into a coherent set of messages that can be easily transmitted to power.
The proposed organisation would be a non-profit organisation that provides spaces for people to discuss the issues they care about, but also allows their views to be aggregated and made known to those in power. It would give people tools to form groups in their workplaces, in their local communities, or over the internet. The organisation would be run by its members, and overseen by a cadre of independent officials, who would be there to help members and ensure fair play.
