The Iranian revolution underway is a sign of the times. Millions of oppressed people Twittering and linking up forging networks to create and topple a system that's in need of reformation. Women have been the very foundation of this movement. Moussavi the leader of the resistance's wife spoke at one function this quote:

"I hope freedom of the speech, freedom of the pen, freedom of thought will not be forgotten" – Zahra Rahnavard

We, too, in America are in the mist of an revolution. A transformation from a domination culture that views the world as fleeting and open to exploitation, to a partnership culture that wants its society to be permanent and seeks to partner with the world to create harmony.

Our oligarchy style of government in the United States best represents this culture. The very fact that nearly 60% of our Federal government's budget goes to the military exemplifies this notion.

How has all that wealth migrated to the very top of this pyramid for so long? Through domination of course.
