A year ago we came to DailyKos with an idea for a liberal ThinkTank. We've been hard at work on the site: NewWays Thanks to a number of helpful people we've launched NewWays.

We wanted to come back and sharing our progress with you.

FreeIdeas, the progressive thinktank startup is now in its third month. Our latest FreeIdea is:

Who: Any web designer, entrepreneur.

What: Design a Scoop Wiki website called Corporate Incentives Map which illustrates all state and national legislation which offers incentives to corporations.

Why: Incentives are one of the main ways in which traditional economic practices are preserved even after market forces have shifted. For example the auto industry is using governmental handouts to slow the shift from petroleum based transportation into green/electric transportation design. Because of large handouts and incentives, auto companies are able to table larger economic losses which in-turn limits their need to shift their own business practices.

Where: Target any organizational system of incentives (local, national, World Bank, etc.).

Personal Effect: Gain advertising revenue from the Wiki site. Contribute to the national conception of business practices and ecological change.

In Britain you can't call an item juice unless it is almost 100% juice. In the states that regulative percentage is 5%. On this note.

Any business in the US has only to be 5% ethical to be considered moral.

Any church only has to represent the will of God 5% of the time (oh what fun there is to be had with the other 95%)!

Any city only has to care for 5% of its homeless/transient population.

Any water system only has to gaurentee that 5% of its drinking water is safe for drinking.

Any conversation in the mall only has to be heartfelt 5% of the time.

5% more on the flip...

We are continuing our efforts to design a community of progressive thinkers forming new ways of presenting, creating, and organizing products and actions in our daily lives.

The Vision of FreeIdeas ultimately aims to offer an information-rich site where corporations, agencies, and organizations can access and implement new ideas.

While I figure out which would be a better host- scoop or wordpress we need to decide on a name (currently FreeIdeas) for the organization. Which do you like (see the poll)

(give your suggestions for the name and I'll add them to the poll).

It is okay now to be an Angry Passionate representative democrat. What turned off our base pre-bush is just the kind of fire we all want to see in our reps for the last three years.

This means: all of your representatives who have staff informing you not to cross boundaries in terms of your passion: fire your staff. We want passion; we want issues; we want filibusters; we want oversight; we want ever trick in the book to stop corruption.

We want disclosure of how the fat Elephants use military contracts to get their party donations.

We want angry speeches about our country being a dictatorship.

Okay so after the great drama today
http://www.cnn.com/...
http://feingold.senate.gov/...

and after FEINGOLD's RESOLUTION CENSURING THE PRESIDENT
http://feingold.senate.gov/...

this man peeks my lay-vote interest. What's the digs on Feingold. I have to say there is a lot of talk as to who is the real deal candidate for 2008. Many have centered on Gore (who's speeches and actions I have applauded for the last six years). But Gore worries me because, like Kerry he doesn't know how to choose good advisors. Both Kerry and Gore failed partly in their campaigns because they trusted lame advice from their advisors. Gore was contained; Kerry was Botoxed (:)); Kerry was sent out to get a photo-op while hunting. Its an open thread. Read More
