New Civic Activism

Next time someone says the government is broken, or politicians don't do the right thing, agree with them!

Then ask, how are they trying to improve it? And voting does not count.

GREAT video about the re-invention of civic activism.  Bringing what the WW 2 vets did into the new century.
Time to roll up sleeves and get active.

Future of Society

I truly believe 100 years from now, government will be an open frame work akin to wikipedia.  It will unite humanity like old governments could not.
Between now and then I do fear much turmoil, as change is never easy.

Good video on open government.  The internet revolution doesn't end with Music, Videos, publishing, games, finance, education, etc.  It is a transformation of society.

Corruption will be marginalized in the open society, and the average citizen rewarded vs those holding position.

Technology, Power to the people

I posted how "Technology, is the ultimate destructor of inefficiency" , and on the show "This Week" highlights the role of new social media in bringing down dictatorships. (Twitter, Facebook, etc).

We are living in very interesting times, where democracy is taking shape through technology.

Great video to watch, for this historic period.
