While I certainly agree with you that we need to "know where we’re wanting to go" I think there is also a risk in putting that goal out too loudly, simply because doing so often tends to call forth all those who disagree with it, either because they don’t understand, or because they have a reason to want it to stay the same. So, while it might be great for those of us who are associated with Chris to have some clear goals, I think it should be taken in steps, i.e. work "behind the scenes" so to speak, by getting the CC out, and changing consciousness, before we "announce" any grand plan that might just draw opposition that we do not need at this stage in the game.
For example, if we said we have one goal of ridding our nation of the Fed Res, etc. how much opposition do you suppose we’d get almost immediately?
But thanks for your astute contribution, and for allowing me to share my thoughts with you too.
