The Rise of the Indignant: Spain, Greece, Europe
When Stephane Hessel wrote in Time for Outrage! that indignation with injustice should turn to ‘a peaceful insurrection’ perhaps he did not expect that the movement of ‘indignados’ in Spain and ‘aganaktismenoi’ (outraged) in Greece would take his advice to heart so soon and so spectacularly.

People: We are overjoyed to know that in the absence of political mechanisms responsive to human needs and Rights, that people are taking it upon themselves to come up with and to present such mechanisms FROM THE GROUND UP. We see this as only just and appropriate, since ALL wealth is similarly produced through the hands of the working people who find, create, and produce it. The Prime Ingredient of self determination…an informed and active human population…is apparently now standing up on its back feet and Rightfully claiming, retaining, its Lawful Sovereignty. Congratulations to you all. May this Blessed Contagion spread quickly here to the ‘Land of the Free.’ Quite sincerely, rw
