The White Pigeon

In a flock of pigeons, is the white bird amongst all the others serving its species by attracting the attention of the predator? Does its mutation help all the other birds escape?

As we move into a post-carbon, post-affluenza world, who among us is willing to step forward and be the white pigeon? Not so much to be prey, but to help forge policies for grey water permitting, to be examples of non-violence, to show how to support ourselves while also supporting our neighbors and leaving a resource abundance for our children's children?
