– I was just starting to love the community feel that the neighborhoods I have lived in are finally getting. I know that it’s something France has gotten for a long time. Neighborhoods need the gathering places where people can mingle over every day things. Sad to see that something as lame as...

So there was a link today on buzzfeed that kind of tipped mind off center into somewhat of a rant mode. It’s one of those things where I’ve been formulating an opinion on the subject for quite some time, but hadn’t really had the chance to understand my conclusions until now.

– I’ve noticed the same thing, not only with people that I know, but especially in my own life. I haven’t had to cut back on anything, and on top of that, the cheap gas has just put more money in my pocket since I barely drive, I now have to fill up less than once a month. I’ve heard...

They are saving up money to buy themselves a new country once global warming causes the ocean to rise up above their current islands. Haven’t seen something like this before.

Could it be that the aspiration of this candidate is to make of his White House a platform for community involvement? Is he, in essence attempting to make a technologically-aided social network in the service of democracy? If so, would he be...
