It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.


Draft Carter 2004 meetup

Draft Carter?

I noticed today that someone has started a Draft Carter 2004 Meetup, for which people are invited to sign up. After enough people in your area indicate interest, a place and time to meet will be announced.

Jimmy Carter for President in 2004? Well, how about that... Wouldn't it be nice to have a president who:
  • Is religious without hitting other people over the head about it
  • Spent his post-political life working when he didn't have to
  • Has a record of three decades of diplomacy
  • Considers human rights a fundamental organizing principle
  • Listens to other people
  • Favors talking things out before bombing others...

When you think about it, a Carter presidency sounds like exactly what this country needs right now.
