a war of retribution against Osama Bin Ladin who still roams free. The recent war inIraq was waged under the pretense of information regarding weapons of massdestruction. Does anybody believe that this was not primarily a war to secure thesecond largest oil reserves left in the world and to stimulate the weak US economy ?Nobody knows how many innocent Iraqis have been murdered. In reality, a worldaddicted to oil, one controlled by multi-national corporations rationalized this illegalinvasion despite the obvious fear mongering. A terrible precedent of terrorist attackson civilians in the United State s on September 11 th resulted in pre-emptive attacksby the United States on Iraq in so -called preventative retaliation. Innocent civiliansdie in the name of an eye for an eye policies. Fear is the darkness that threatens toengulf us everywhere. Only a new Sun Rise at a grass roots level can shed light on theanswers that are as old as time. The elites in power are blinded by greed, fear,arrogance, rationalizations, selfishness, disconnection, religion and ignorance.On August 14 th , 2003 mos t of eastern North America experienced a devastatingBlackout caused by failures in a highly integrated electricity grid. That day broughtthe thriving modern city of Toronto where I work to a standstill. For almost anhour nobody knew what had happened. There was talk of terrorist attacks. Shouldwe leave the building? The streets were jammed with traffic as signals had failed,everywhere! Slowly the word got out that all of eastern North America was out. Thecause wasnt known. Nobody could predict how long things would be shut down.Generators nobody knew existed were roaring underground in the office towersnear where I worked. How long would they last to keep businesses, all the banks,from completely shutting down?It occurred to me that I had not fil led up on gas when I had left my car at thecommuter train parking lot that morning. More than likely, I thought to myself, thegas stations would not be able to pump gas without electricity. I began a long walkup the main street along with millions of others like me all over North America.People spontaneously started to make the best of things. People in suits directedtraffic. Store and restaurant owners began offering people water for the long walkhome, for freeout of the goodness of their hearts, as plainly the hot humidweather posed a grave danger for some. The city came together as though a smallcommunity. People began to talk to each other about what was going onand ifyou know Toronto, you know this is very unusual. Parks had people sleeping u nderthe stars in large numbers. Life went on, it seemed to me, better than it had with thepower on. Even in the following days as power began to be restored office towerowners operated with 30% less energy in order to reduce the burden on systems20
