Mostly agreeing with Carrol.

I have been pondering my list, which would not be titled demands but "What's worth fighting for."

-- The end of the wars.

-- The dismantling of the police state and the closure of prisons.

-- Free health care [nationalization of pharma; accountability/transparency of medical procedures and drugs]

-- Free education [organized around skills and enlightenment; includes child care]

-- Stewardship of the earth [sustainable/organic development, clean up of toxic env, development of non polluting energy sources]

-- Public support for the arts

-- Something about immigration -- not sure what.

-- Meaningful work available to all. Meaningful both in the sense as necessary (waste disposal) and in the sense of the development and refinement of human beings.
