Thanks for the link c4~. I see Bill as a good person, evolving to greater understanding of capitalism, in the sense of emphasizing corporate responsibility and creative opportunity to help those who are suffering and dying and left out of the process.

Yet to say 'capitalism' is the only way, or market force is the only way to bring greater good, progress and well-being is to say 'bible' or 'vedas' is the only source of truth. Self interest leads to greater good, but which 'self'' is leading the way - the fragmented ego, alter-ego  healthy ego, transpersonal self or buddha nature or non-dual self?

Attended a BPF regional meeting yesterday in Cincinnati with David Loy and other wonderful people. This is one member Richard's site.

Perhaps I am hoping for the impossible, yet once there is seeing there must be engaging. We need to create mindful partnership models and bridges at all levels, stages, states and structures. And a debt-free, transparent, sustainable trust currency of the people, by the people, for the people that allows that…. higher creative potential in each individual and collective social evolutionary processes emerge in harmony and joy.
