This entry comes a little late but I suppose that it's better late than never.

Just one short thing today. I have decided to stop bitching about the sociopolinomic problems we face these days because I simply have nothing constructive to offer. It's easy to see that something is amiss but much much harder to propose any kind of steps in the right direction. I'm certainly not going to stop thinking about it but until I can propose some, any, kind of action it's not worth ranting about. In the meantime I want to leave you with some links to people I think are on to something. This list will start off short and hopefully continue to grow. Stay tuned. Also, many of the links will be things I have posted previously. I really just want to have them all in one place.

Here goes:

• The Viridian Movement -- Some people want to cry "armchair" or "ivory tower" about the viridians and, frankly, I can see some of that but at least they're thinking about it.
• The Center for Unamerican Activities ;) -- One dude with a lot of thoughts about the current state of affairs.
• Microship II -- You guys probably saw this guy on TV. He lived on a computer-laden recumbent bike for ages. He's got some interesting ideas about getting free of it all.

That's it for now. If you have any links to this type of site please shoot them my way.

A disclaimer: I don't think that things are all bad... quite the contrary. I just think that we need to start looking forward. We have the power and the tools to make this the greatest age yet. Let's figure out how.
