I am still mulling through Love-IsmVolume I: A Critical Mass and Other Poems. This is not an
easy-to-read book. It is similar to a college text in that the reading is slow
going - not because it is not interesting but because the content is so rich
and varied and one must really have their mind ready to concentrate. You know
what I mean if any of you can remember being in college or post grad school.
Coorough's books are very dense with information and packed with historical
details including but not limited to the history and development of the United
States Government and the history and development of other governments worldwide.
Coorough incorporates all this information and brings it
home when he shows specific example of how particular governmental techniques
and regulations travel from one leader to another and more specifically, how
these techniques have been used world wide to capture audiences and create
working agendas in addition to controlling the populace.
The density of information and history combined with the
intensity of Coorough's emotions bring this text home. His interpretations of
world events put into perspective current events and also provide an
alternative for the direction of current governments worldwide. Coorough's
agenda is to raise awareness to show how we (the worldwide we) can be part of
creating a new world that will be sustainable for our offspring. In general
people have been like puppets and in scientific studies and has been proven
people are very easily manipulated to hurt one another. This has led to our
current situation where we have put the planet's sustainability in danger as
well as harming many species. For example, current farming practices have
become a travesty where animals suffer from birth to their short death.
I strongly recommend this book and his others - especially
to spread the "occupy" message and clarify the realization that our
world needs change and it is overdue. If Castro could bring back coral reefs to
Cuba, we can force change if we think and move together altruistically. I
shudder to think about what will happen if we let things go and act like the
robots we've become, just letting the world happen to us instead of
participating in creating a new world meant to benefit humanity.

I very much appreciate Coorough's descriptions of John
Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Bed In" as examples of how all of us can
collaborate to create change.
