communities

on the way home for lunch i had my radio dialed in to kcbx. they were broadcasting New Dimensions... an interview with Nina Utne and Jay Walljasper on the need for salons (getting together and discussing events with people of like and unline minds) and how communities have broken down in the US.

this is an important topic to me and the talk -- what i heard of it -- was ... inspiring to say the very least.

jay walljasper said a really interesting thing -- talking about what has caused the demise of the US communities. he attributed it to tv and airconditioning (and nina threw in the automobile as well). he said before tv and air conditioning people would sit on their front porches to cool down and spend time.

i loved this insight about air conditioning it cracked me up.

a lot more to say on this subject, but i will leave it for another day -- if not it's very own level-two on my web site.

i hope everyone who is reading today is doing well...
