Its time for regular people to offer real solutions and a vision for the future. Otherwise when things collapse, the ruling class will surely offer theirmaniacal solutions if no other options are presented. That is the motivation for this writing contest; to give you a chance to articulate your ideas for solutions. We are looking for articles about ideas fornon-violent resistance,survival and self-sufficiency,political solutions, personal growth, alternative economy, alternative education, and alternative healthcare. The winner will be determined strictly based on the highest number of total page views that the article generates during the contest so that subjective judging will not affect the outcome. It is helpful to get your submissions in early, yet most of the views happen in the first 48 hours of posting. Not all submissions will be published, and we retain the right to make final small edits for typos and grammar. Please see the guidelines for submissions below: Important Submission Guidelines: Best of luck to all, we look forward to hearing and sharing what you have to say.
