Excellent essay. I would point out, however, that the recent success of Wiki Leaks in decoding the Apache helicopter gunship 30mm cannon attack on Iraqi journalists shows that anonymous contributions have an important role. If more state and corporate atrocities find their way to the net, then major institutions could suffer a crisis of legitimacy, making social change more likely.

On another front, I was pleased to see your emphasis on relationships with animals and nature as part of an evolving P2P ethos.
