Are These Anti Romney Videos Effective?

Mitt Romney versus Reality - YouTube:

'via Blog this'

This one makes clear that Romney will say anything without regard for truth. Let's amend that. He's a bald-faced liar. I actually think the lies are served up to him by his staff. His free lance speech is his Achilles Heel.

BUT.

Is this video effective? I think not. Find a Republican like Susan Eisenhower to relay the content of this video and you have a winner. I wish I could be in the middle of this. I win prizes for what I do. My only problem is I am old and no one answers my emails. If this post falls on anyone with influence, it contains gold - for free.  .

How Real Entrepreneurs Beat Dreary Forecasts


Premises: There is a goldmine in re-conceptualizing society. Beyond sprawl. Beyond cars. Beyond oil. Beyond stratification.

Entrepreneurial visionaries could: Reclaim sprawl. Move beyond car glut. Move beyond oil. Appeal to the market for a move beyond stratification toward face to face community.

Fallout from the first movement toward this notion: New communities dense enough to enable a viable local economy. Shopping beyond today - kiosks in walkable communities woman-ed  by experts with computers and big screens able to find anything in a given category and have it delivered ASAP. Same pattern for most everything including health and education and much recreation. Communities where everyone lives, works and plays. As these proliferate they take on character and are easily reached by public transpoortation between such communities.

We always need a Jane Jacobs reminder

Jane Jacobs « Project for Public Spaces - Placemaking for Communities: "“With humility and common sense, she taught the world how to understand and value cities through direct observation, persistent questioning and discovery. Her faith in the wisdom of local citizens lives on in the civic battles in which she participated and her wisdom lives on in the writing of her nine seminal books.” — The Center for the Living City at Purchase College"

She is so right.

The Simple Mathematics of Density - Quatrain


How many people does it take 
To build a fine economy 
However many we should make 
The basis of community

Poetic Revolution Time Revaluing as We Go

A world structured as ours is
Has no need to fall
In violence between
Two sides
The mass of us are all in the same boat
No matter where we live
We have the means
We only need the consciousness
To counter the disparity
Remove distractions
Start to march from here to here
From there to there
Revaluing as we go
Poetic revolution time



Charles Sanders Peirce - Thinking in Threes

Can poetry vanquish poverty indeed it can

Can poetry vanquish poverty

Indeed it can

Indeed it will and soon

We're at a point where poetry and logic

Can prevail





Pervasive Poetry Will Win the World this Century

Little is said of global poverty
Acute in Yemen not unknown next door
All puppet strings that play at keeping it at bay
Will soon fall to pervasive poetry

Convenient falsehood to obscure what's true

Romance is used by business to help
Convince us that romance makes all things well
Convenient falsehood to obscure what's true
That romance is hardly the top value
The top value is non-idolatry
Then helpfulness and then democracy
Then tolerance these four are Abba's way
Not for holidays for every day

I'll celebrate when women stop being stoned

I'll celebrate when women stop being stoned
And when our jails do not dehumanize
And when society is structured to mute crime
And raise the banner of new neighborhood
And people bent on trading bad for good
If this sounds bitter please it's not
There's more to love than romance we all know
Too bad we take so long to learn the plot
How many marriages was sheer romance ago





Charles Sanders Peirce - Thinking in Threes

Romantic love evolved from tougher times

Romantic love evolved from tougher times
Whose vestiges remain around the world
In abuse patriarchy honor crimes
It's time a flag of freedom be unfurled
