How can the Cultural Creatives make a difference with all that big money interest around?
We’re at a tipping point in history, a time when a creative minority can get the leverage to really make a difference. Part of the reason is that these activists and schoolteachers, and artists, and spiritual people, and scientists are following the normal American pattern for success. They are turning their grass roots social movements and their projects and ideas into new institutions. Many of the most respectable institutions of today started as controversial grass roots movements. Citizen involvement turns into a huge variety of civic associations like: lobbying groups, political parties, unions, civic clubs, think tanks, institutes, foundations, charities, unions, clinics, and churches. This is what we Americans do, and we’re better at it than almost any other country in the world. And that’s what’s happening now with the Cultural Creatives.
