Self Introduction

I intend to contact lots of people who are interested in change. Fundamental change, not a tinkering with our present system.
I was a lawyer for fifteen years and left it simply because I did not really see it serving society. I could have stayed in but I am glad I did not. Financially, of course, it was a free fall but I was no longer struggling with the question of whether remaining as a lawyer was me as 'token' while lawyers and the law carried on. But I no longer want to spend time talking about law.
I moved on to being a mediator and learned much from that over a twenty-five year period. But even then I found myself at odds with mediation. There is a tendency to make adjustments in marriage settlements, for example, to conform to the prevailing society. To say "Well, it is not going to work very well because you are trying to fit your expectations into a dysfunctional society" is not going to go over very well with most clients.
I don't know if it is just age, or experience, but I find myself still agreeing with my earlier views.
That is why I am in Wechange. Wechange is not surface dressing. Wechange is about systemic change from the grassroots - you and me.
