Cyber Community Organizing

It makes perfect sense now.

Why does it seem like John McCain and Sarah Palin don't 'get it' as they offer less jobs, health care, education, and more war and trillions more debt to the future? Because they hope the future never comes at all.

They're stuck. Iraq is a mega-fail. The Middle East has the stranglehold. Their mortgage heists are going up in smoke. China is grinning, waiting to pull the plug on their 20th century. They can see the future coming home to roost like a fleet of Rebel Starships made of solar panels, windmill thrusters, and a people united, focused, and determined. So what are they going to do? They're going to borrow China, India, Eurupe, the rest of the world into fiscal non-existence, then vanish the United States of America and all its supergiant-debt down a Large Hadron Singularity before it goes supernova.

There will be no Black America, no White America, no Red America, no Blue America.

No America.

Not even a Spook Country.

Just The Brotherhood of The Nameless Men of Many Houses.


Fuck'em with pineapples.

Lipstick storms cloud the spotlight, inevitable as the Coriolis effect, wash warm waves of cynicism over us. More of the same.

Or not?

Weather patterns are inevitable. Technological innovation is inevitable. Karl Rove bullshit is inevitable. However.

I think there's a chance here.

I believe the future may not begin with a capital "F", but with intelligence, creativity, community, and the right uses of technology, the future can begin with a lower-case "c".

Some cyber community organizing.

Here comes everyone!


To start, I've donated what small amounts I can afford and am going to try using the Obama neighbor-to-neighbor thing.
