Manifesto for the Peoples of the Third Millennium describes an approach to long term social change that is deliberately slow, uncertain and, in some ways, conservative.

It favors starting slowly and growing, rather than concocting ideologies which demand that everything be changed all at once.

And, if you're a Jacobin, you should read it, too. Maybe you will come to your senses!

I also recommend the web site of the Center for Cooperative Research. They've produced a fascinating "time line" of the events of September 11, 2001. I believe their general approach to information collection, organization and analysis will become more and more significant over the months and years to come.
