Social Networking sites are to typical internet sites what You are to I. They are an opportunity to find not just information, but living human beings -- repositors of information, and oftentimes, geese. By that I mean you find geese with golden eggs...not just golden eggs, which, of course, are fine, but I wouldn't want to eat one, at least not with my mouth, and since my mom always told me to keep my fingers out of my nostrils, I doubt a gold egg would fit there very comfortably either.
John proves his ability and willingness to reach out, every day, and his superiority on the social networking sites, blogging and such, proves that he is what we need leading us today.
When George W. Bush refuses to speak with Ahmedinajad (I'm guessing at the spelling)...he, according to Martin Buber, is rendering a potential "You" into a an "It". He and She equal It. You can't say You to a he or she or it.
By removing his enemy from the world of relationship, and keeping him in the world of experience, experienced as separate from...he can then kill him, bomb his people (by extension) and so on.
[There's more below the poll...)
But by doing so, he also makes himself an It.
As Buber says: "One cannot say "It" wih one's whole being, but one can ONLY say "You" with one's whole being.
John Edwards understands this. and, obviously, so does his radiant wife, Elizabeth.
Bush Inc. will be trying its best to dehumanize Iran over the coming days, weeks and months. They will try to prepare us for battle with these natives from the homeland of Rumi. (If only they all acted like Rumi!)
As years go by, it will be this enemy or that enemy whom we need to fear, in order to keep those missile orders coming, and fat smiles pasted throughout the entire media-military-industrial complex. And why not? It's only business! And a business HAS to kill people, I mean make a profit.
John is the only one who can put some brakes on this deadly trade, and, where once missiles bloomed, now all manner of technological innovations and gardens bloom.
John will be the catalyst for tomorrow's internets. So git yer cows ready!
Some candidates are just their bodily person.
Some candidates satisfy their constituents.
John is that rarest of rare candidates who goes far beyond merely satisfying his constituents...he goes way beyond that.
John Edwards is about the POSSIBLE America. Giving Americans and the World WAY more than they could have even imagined. Like Disney World.
Like Disney World? Indeed! Did Disney give the customers merely what they had asked for? No! They gave them a world vastly more beautiful and wondrous than they could have imagined even on a good day.
John's vision is so vast, full, and beautiful that he cannot even wait for some election to happen. He is ALREADY doing the heavy uplifting.
He is already is the exemplar.
It's not about him. It is about relationships.
Get to know your fellow Edwardians. I have yet to meet an evil one, or even a bad one.
It is a great time to be a Democrat and a Progressive. It is an even greater time to be an Edwardian.
I hope you're taking notes, because I'm not.
I'm just letting wisdom flow through me like a vessel. I dunno. Maybe it's the coffee.
