The Audacity of Hope
Yeah, I'm reading the book right now.
That's not what this post is about though.
What is most amazing me right now is this - http://www.peacetakescourage.com/page-about.htm.
If a home-schooled 16 year old girl from Alabama can create a movement that gets 30,000, hits a day - maybe there is hope for this country after all. Generational change. That's the key to ending the madness (and delusional fantasy life that Dick Cheney continues to perpetuate).
Oh, the book is good - lots of good points and all, but when I see what this girl is doing, it gives me far more hope that there is an awakened class of people than the musings of one politician, as charismatic and "articulate" as he is.
Long live (engaged) youth. Peace takes courage, maybe more courage than fighting, and if we had more courage about making peace and speaking up for peace, we might have a livable world someday.
