A Better Way
Posted on May 24, 2008
Here are 5 goals we should be pushing towards as a nation and as a global community:
- End poverty rather than fight terror. The former is a solution to a problem, the latter is just treatment for the symptom. Creating prosperity in the poorest countries in the world is a realistic goal in our lifetimes.
- Reverse the widening gap between the richest and the poorest in the world. A more even distribution of resources is paramount to global well-being.
- Reverse the effects of man-made climate change. Climate change is likely the greatest threat that humanity has ever faced, and the outcome will almost certainly determine our ability to live on our planet.
- Promote science and education. Education builds stable societies, and exploration of the sciences helps us to solve many issues we face now and will face in the future.
- Ensure individual freedoms and rights. Nobody should have the right to dictate the legally allowable behaviors where there’s no harm to any party involved.

Ill second all of that.
I have no idea how we allowed the last 8 years to happen, but it’s help unite Americans towards progress in ways no one has seen in many years, and in new ways that couldn’t be more exciting.
It’s fair for me to say that for the first time, I’m feeling proud of my country. A big shift from my prior rejection of it. I hope people see this movement through, all the way into a continued consciousness and state of mind that we can pass on to future generations.
