I don't have anything too insightful to say about the events of today at our nation's capitol and across the country. Right now helicopers are hovering over Network as they circle the Colorado capitol building. Police in riot gear stream by hanging onto the side of SUVs. It's 2pm MTN.
I think we have to remind ourselves that a different world is possible, that to achieve new ends we have to stretch our imagination beyond the limits of our history, and that we must remember it is we as a people who will find a way forward. A moral vision for the future exists within the Demos, the people. As a people we must take hold of our institutions and lead the way toward a new expression of our collective will. That is where the genius of a nation lies—not with politicos but within the hearts of our people and between the mutual relationships we share. Time to turn to each other and search not for a win over an opposing side, but to ask what we owe to each other and to future generations.
