Popular dissent, human agency, and global politics

***Give me one incidence where freedom didn't require chaos ?***
What's going on in Egypt today could be the United States tomorrow? People are upset, discontented, bewildered,and angry, and becoming verbal with their concerns @ present!

How long will it take for them to become violent & react to this government? Is it the right time for the people to get their Country back from political factions that only have their self interests in mind?

Do "WE" as a Nation of people that have lived basically under a self-governed common sense practical form of self sustaining individualism now become the ward of Federal bureaucracy
and become a ward of the state?

What is "OUR" (( THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA )) heritage?
It's your call, what will it be?

We stand in the middle of a transition where we cannot remain standing
A series of fundamental transformations in global politics calls for an equally fundamental rethinking of how we have come to understand this central aspect of contemporary life. Processes of globalisation have led to various cross-territorial interactions that render the political and mental boundaries of the existing international system increasingly anachronistic. Nation-states no longer play the only role in a world where financial, productive and informational dynamics have come to disobey, transgress and challenge the deeply entrenched political principle of state sovereignty. Recently undertaken efforts to understand these and other changing dimensions of global politics has become a focal point of many in this Nation and the World. Its prime task has been to scrutinise the role that dissent plays at a time when the transgression of boundaries has become a common feature of life.
A conceptual break with existing understandings of global politics is necessary to recognise trans-territorial dissident practices and to comprehend the processes through which they exert human agency. A long tradition of conceptualising global politics in state-centric ways has entrenched spatial and mental boundaries between domestic and international spheres such that various forms of agency have become virtually unrecognised, or at least untheorized. The centrality of dissent can thus be appreciated only once we view global politics, at least for a moment, not as interactions between sovereign states, but as ‘a transferal site of constitution’.
In my own defense; at least a 'small' part of America is Speaking Out.
