Thinking that you have all the answers is silly enough, but going to writings from the dark ages to fill in life lessons maybe isn't the way to go. You certainly don't drive using the rear view mirror. Then why not look forward and maybe see something new.

Drawing Lines

So interesting to see where people draw lines, they have an invisible friend who lives in the sky, but santa is just silly. I understand why people draw boundries to belief, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't examine what you already have.

Twitter

 There was a "twitter blackout" the other day, not the best idea. so the idea is simple, if x country says user y has to be pulled. we that are not censored should go out of our way to make sure the message is heard by all. those in country x may not hear it from the first person, but they can hear it from everyone else that retweeted/reproduced the message. so long as twitter isn't turned off totally, it can still be a useful tool. now if twitter is in cahoots with country x to censor, thats a different issue. if they are, or worse and try to hide that they are then we as users of the service should take action. but again the action should not be silence, being quiet never gets you anywhere.
