Conservative Left

http://www.neoteny.org. Political activists are discovering Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Stumbleupon, Digg and Flickr making them central to left and progressive organizing. Social networking, social media, the Creative Commons and other communications technologies are now integral to a new youth oriented, organized anarchy, placing the commons where hierarchy used to be. Youth know new technologies. Progressive organizing is becoming familiar with social networking, social media, the Creative Commons, Facebook, Twitter and the rest. Organized anarchy is evolving a seamless whole. Visit neoteny.org to download for free the book this video comes from, Evolution, Autism and Social Change by Andrew Lehman.

this is all great but like BK did McD's in real estate. I'm sure the Reps can do the Dems.

a problem I have with the message of this video is the use of words like life, community, humanity. I'm not doubting the systems you talk about. But, just because facebook tells me I have 300 friends, doesn't necessarily mean there's a human element to the "friendship". if there's anything communication by corp has taught the youngest generations, its how to tune them (and "friends") out.

your optimism is unjustifiable ... obama bundled his head off but did that buy him security to stave off the in/outbuyers? GS greatest campaign contr. Nuff said. You repeat the life (up) after television (beat). Results so far: bubble, siliconhell, autism promoting and (facet)bundle counteracting fractination and (spl)inter(ne)tment.

Lots of people come to the right solution following faulty yarnknit but godarnit them kkkristian are right about the diagnosis but as to their cure i am less sure.
