BUDAPEST: George Soros is Delivering Series of Lectures this week

NOTE: Perhaps your economic class or even your social sciences course could learn something from these online lectures? Perhaps you know a reporter in Budapest or could arrange a phone interview for your newspaper or magazine?

If I were present at these lectures, I could imagine the most provocative of discussions about Marxism, Capitalism and emerging Social/Economic systems as well as the age-old topic of the power of the rich vs the power of the masses. Perhaps in such a dialogue and with the audience in Budapest and/or via Media world-wide there could be something beautiful which may emerge and may potentially be one small cog in the wheel of transformation of the planet?

How might each of us work with or in counter-movement yet nonviolently with our most apparently powerful leaders? How might we influence these called "greats" toward even more be potential influence and resources in the market of World Peace? Given Mr. Soros birth in Budapest, tragic personal/historical and interest in the well-being of the world at large - as well as his strong work to end the reigns of Bush - perhaps there's something here for peacemakers? (My disclaimers, I am bored with most rich folk and know next to nothing to recommend Mr. George Soros personally or not - just that not only in his own right yet also in terms of metaphor for our changing world, his voice is still alive and we need to reckon with the same and others of his caliber and history.)
