We are at a critical moment in human history, one in which chaos theory would suggest that the coordinated action by a small group of people can have inordinate influence. Last week we saw how powerfully it can go in the negative direction. How about we see what it can do in the positive direction?

Each of us is a respected voice in the communities in which we are known. Each of us has experiences interacting with the larger world, through travel, online activities, family and business relationships...and our vision of using the Internet to improve the possibilities for humanity has never been more needed than now.

Please join us in this space as we explore what a small group of people, united by a powerful vision, can do to positively shape the events now unfolding...

Here are some initial thoughts, seed crystals for conversations to come....

• Let Freedom Ring! Let Justice Be Done!
• From 911 to 9-11: an Alarm for Learning
• Who is Not To Blame (please add to this list, with your information!)
