		<description><![CDATA[The plane lifted off from the CHC runway in rainy, cold weather, in the darkest hour before sunrise.  Three and a half hours later we broke through the scattered cloud cover over Sydney on the northern approach, with the sun gleaming off the sea in a way that starkly silhouetted the iconic harbour bridge and opera house in  beautiful ways.

And as the plane hit the tarmac again, I felt excitement rise through me again; the excitement of Newness, and the promise of a better life that glistened like the sea of the harbour around me.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=oxymoronism.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8694298&amp;post=946&amp;subd=oxymoronism&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SYNTHESIS
Perhaps it’s time to begin better synthesising what we’ve been saying, by identifying and focusing on the main themes of our discussions so far.
This synthesis will not aim to formulate “demands” or “goals” — it’s still far too early for that, yet.

Instead, this synthesis will move to define and weave together the main themes around which we seek to increase the quality of discussion and engagement with the community.

It will result in factual research which is focused around these themes, and will give us something to show people as they ask us what we want, what we are doing, and what we are saying. It will encourage them to engage with us about the Truths of the inequality and injustice which are inherent in the existing New Zealand political and market structures. It will help us to better articulate and describe the challenges we face together as a community, as a nation, and as a world.

This will not provide demands or goals; it will provide a more well-defined direction.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=oxymoronism.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8694298&amp;post=938&amp;subd=oxymoronism&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a brilliant conversation with a retired entrepreneur named Bill down at the Christchurch Occupation earlier today.

Max Chubaba (an Indian-born Kiwi), Popx (an English-born Kiwi) and Rob joined us in moving to pin down exactly what it is that the Occupy movement is seeking to achieve, in real terms. When I explained that we were already doing it by engaging each other in this very conversation, he continued by challenging the motivations and philosophies that we have; and, in response, he stimulated us to articulate them in lucid and compelling ways.

One of the things I really appreciated about the exchange was that Bill began by questioning us extensively, not by piling in with his own views and opinions. He was genuinely interested in why we were occupying the space and engaging people in discussion...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=oxymoronism.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8694298&amp;post=910&amp;subd=oxymoronism&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This kind of globally networked, locally relevant participatory democracy that we are currently feeling our way through, developing, exploring and growing could be—could be—the embryonic evolution of the replacement structures for the structures which are, today, failing us.

The entire world is now networked together like never before. We can all talk to each other, engaging each other in discussion and the exchange of ideas, enabling lightning-quick solution-finding  and innovation across the planet, in real-time.

Imagine what that could mean for global democracy.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=oxymoronism.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8694298&amp;post=894&amp;subd=oxymoronism&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
