The medium of video media that got us so disconnjected since the 1950s may well contribute to the re-engagement of our community, locally and globally.

Great idea for all to have shelter, food and clothing. Hope we get there.

If he was elected the President I'd be sure to watch for that address. Talk about controversy your first day in.
