FYI the Egpytian revolution was all free agents

If you have heard of the term then thinking about the dynamics of what just happened in Egypt show the power of the people and there ain't more of a people then a free agent.  Because not one established pro democracy or revolution group had a hand in this undertaking. .

If was all done by Free Agents.

Local nonprofits want off charity website - The Boston Globe



Local nonprofits want off charity website - The Boston Globe


This article talks about a service from CherryBlossom.org that finds a non profit and then direct folks to a place that will accept money and direct it to the Charity. While the Nonprofits that were interviewed for the article seemed to object. I wonder if this is not an act of a free agent that is seeking to help many at the objection of the few.

There are a lot of questions to ask for sure however the bigger one is So the question is why wouldn't someone want money donated to them? What does the donor expect? I would think it would be a rather low expectation since they didn't contact the charity. Who knows, what we do know it that this is something new and before we stay stop. We need to ask, review and co-create with them this new experience.

The 1st CFA was probably a Hastati

The notion that someone out side of the community helping out in a disaster is not a new story it's one of the oldest stories. The furthest I can find takes place in the states of Lagash and Umma of Sumer in 2525 B.C

Stele of Vultures 2

Stele of Vultures was commemorated after a particular battle in which the king Eannatum of Lagash sent a single solider called a Hastati to a neighbor province that he had agreed to a mutual aide pack of forces.

The fears of this neighbor where satisfied when they defeated the invading force and Kind Eannatum erected the Stele IMHO it was a message for future generations accept the aid or be picked apart by the lions and vultures.
