I'm willing to be wrong here, but as I recall it, Katara's grandmother wasn't a bender. The northern water tribe seems to have more benders in general (though the southern tribes may have simply suffered more attrition), and so it's possible she remembered some of the teachings and passed them along. Maybe I'll toss the first season into netflix and re-watch the last few episodes.
edit: I love Iroh so much. They need someone like him on the new show!

Why can't it be his ultimate goal? He's a fanatic; he doesn't need to have a sensible or practical plan.
That's not to say that it absolutely is his ultimate goal, but applying rationality to fanaticism is a mistake.
Was Katara's grandmother a bender? I thought she was a normal woman.

They did say in "The Last Airbender" that humans learned bending. Air bending was learned from flying bisons. Earth bending was learned from badger moles. Fire bending was learned from dragons. Water bending was learned from how the moon changes the tides.
So something must have changed since the ancient days to now if bending was an acquired skill back then but is inherited in the present day.
...man, I hope the Space Sword shows back up.
No, Aang! Don't drown your non-bender newborn son in the river!

Hmmm, do you live in North America?
Edit: Ok caught up with the thread. I agree that a problem is so far we haven't seen any nonbender oppression really. Right now there are only 3 jobs that we have seen that require you to be a bender, a certain type of cop and doing a specific job in a power plant and being a probender. We've seen that two important people are benders, Tenzin and Chief Bei Fong but we also know that
Not that I mean to imply you can be a bender if you want it bad enough. Really there's two possibilities: It was either a gradual spiritual attunement that occurred over several generations, or it was a more direct communion between the early peoples and agents of the spirit world. If it's the latter, and Amon really did commune with some spiritual agents, then things could get real interesting down the road.
I mean, I imagine she will since she's a) a probending fan and b) likely going to fund the Fire Ferrets, and I'd like her to be a good guy, but have they said so yet?
Also, what we've seen certainly is grounds for non-benders to be upset. Benders run the government, benders run the police, benders play a vital role in maintaining infrastructure, benders run the gangs and extort normals left and right. Hell, even pro sports requires bending ability.
Even if there's no actual oppression, benders play a heavily disproportionate role in Republic City society.
Unless they just learned to use their innate ability to bend from natural sources.
I find all this speculation kinda silly, though.
But on the other hand, I think handwaving it away as "Shuuuush its not important until it is and we want the freedom to break any ground rules we set" is almost better
I like that kind of attitude.
Always be skeptical. never accept "MAGIC!" as the explanation!

That's all well and good until midichlorians happens. Be careful what you wish for.
