writing in the raw: pre-whoring brought to a whole new level

I’ll be up at 10pm on the front page. i couldn’t get Jay Elias’s essay, Of Politics and People, out of my mind. I’m hoping to stir up some stuff… and see if it grabs you as it did me… here’s what i thought was brilliant (i have it out of order)…

Many of you may wonder why I have been so dogged with my “Quotes for Discussion” posts over the last year.  I usually offer them up without context or commentary, and they are tangential to the point of the sites where I post them at best.  Further, few people, including few of you, bother to read them or discuss them.  And even more, sometimes the quotes, and my purpose in posting them, is very hard to gather.  So, I’ll tell you why.

I post those quotes to remind us about people, and to try to get people to think about them, often in a different way than usual for politics.  Because it is easy to speak of political policy and strategy without thinking about these things, about the crucial role that people will have in them.

It is my belief that most political programs and ideas fail because they are not conceived or implemented with people in mind.

The other just happened to me. Watching Delivery in jessical’s Pony Party: Oh Superman, In a Box. Also like the vid titled, Oh Superman in a Box.

Watch it.

Then maybe,if you’re inclined, come back to visit. Let’s try something a little different tonight, shall we…
