"I set out a vision that is inclusive of everyone. In my vision there is universal health care, unemployment insurance, and welfare to take care of those unable to help themselves. In my vision there is justice, accountability, and community enforced standards of behavior. The vision is big enough to include everyone from anarchists to communists united under a single universally desirable principle of non-violence.

Violence is a shortcut that is taken when people get frustrated and lack innovative alternatives. People don’t choose violence because they want the violent solution, the choose it because they don’t see any other way.

My vision for BitShares is to show them another way." Now this is very exciting.
I had dabbled in the idea of joining a resistance group called Deep Green Resistance because of its commitment to non-violence
but I didn't see it gaining any traction due to the fact that the government was keeping a close eye on its members. Some of the actions in this group
verged on underground tactics which I did not like. I am always for creating mainstream change by meeting people's unmet needs.
Poverty and fear of losing one's resources is, in my opinion the root of a lot of problems. Single mothers and their children account for a vast majority of the poor in the US and in the world. I have some ideas how to alleviate this problem, as I am a single mother who unfortunately found herself in the exact same situation due to abuse. I have figured out some real solutions but I lack financial means. In my daily struggle to meet basic needs, I have taught myself some survival skills that could benefit people in terrible situations. I think like a lot of people on the planet, I only need enough money to sustain me as I don't need clothes, yachts, parties, material possessions. I got rid of my material possessions in 2006. I only need the freedom to do my work which at its core is helping people and expressing my ideas/creativity with freedom. I've succeeded somewhat in building a solid reputation and integrity, but I feel that I have so much work to do in bringing up others. But sometimes hardship pushes you more than if you had all the riches in the world. I was already rich, I know what's that like. I am just emerging from extreme poverty, and that state of mind is crippling in a different way.
What I've been attempting to say is that this vision statement is one I can actually get behind. It's intelligent and contains a solid empathic element.
