What makes you happy this July 4th in regards

to liberalism? What gives you hope? I look at how the internet affects the dissemination of good information. By being pointedly truthful it is forcing the MSM to compete. People love stories but they have to speak to truths within the listeners. Limbaugh‘s cacophony of lies doesn‘t connect anymore. Not when facing off against an Obama narrative that actually mentions jobs or the environment. And the internet punches through the tv and the radio with the liberal stories: stories of people interconnected to each other as they struggle to make the world better. Not the message the GOP wants to get out there. The internet is interconnectedness itself. The internet has given us our narratives back. Just at a time when the oral tradition is disappearing. Which made us vulnerable to psychopaths for a bit (psychopaths take over a person‘s narrative in order to control them). So yeah. I‘m really hopeful that people‘s actual lives and needs will be the future story of the world. Not corporations‘.

I think as a species we have so much potential. It just seems we are still mired in violence and greed. I believe most people are just trying to make a living and raise their families though and are generally good. I hope we evolve into a gentle society that takes care of it's own globally before it is too late.

It is way past my bedtime and I am not making sense. Happy Forth of July to you.
