Al Gore's Challenge To Repower America: Remix
A momentous challenge awaits us as a species. Not unlike birthing this nation, discovering cures for diseases, and overcoming threats to the principles that guide humanity. This will be no small task, and it will be hard... but for me being hard is what makes it worth the journey to accomplish.
A carbon free energy policy in ten years with a national grid is not pie in the sky. Only to those without vision is it so. Only to those who put down ideas out of political spite is it so. Only to those who see it as a threat to their comfortable way of life is it so. Only to the same gatekeepers of the status quo is it so.
To those who do not see limits to what the spirit and imagination can accomplish... it is time.
Our Earth is crying out for help. We are making our own planet uninhabitable by our own actions. It is our moral duty to make amends for it, and by doing so we will not only save her but ourselves.
The future is here and it is us. We're all we've got, and if we do not heed the warnings now we do a great disservice to those coming after us and those here now.
Ten years is not a long time to secure a lifetime of sustainability.
If we can find money for wars, we can find money for peace.
The Arctic won't wait.
And neither can we.

The future - powered by Intel imaginations
The Intel Computer Clubhouse Network on Thursday launched the World Mural Project, which hosts an online mural encouraging children around the world to digitally illustrate their predictions of "what computers will empower us to do" in 40 years. Over 500 children in 21 countries and 14 U.S. states participated in the project.
Their contributions are endearing, if not hilarious: Wearable computers; health care improving our brain power; teleportation; and the best one -- flying cars that cure cancer (what?)

J K Rowling speaking at Harvard Commencement
I wasn't a J.K Rowling fan, until now. I may never read a word or watch one second of any Harry Potter but Video of J K Rowling's Commencement Address, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination,” is powerful and moving.
Given at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association on June 5th 2008. In this wise, yet also funny speech she talks about her time working for Amnesty International, her personal experiences with failure and the power of the imagination to allow us to empathize with others.

G-O-D is a Spirit.
G-O-D is a Spirit. That is the reason it is written without pronouncing it in words. The Spirit of G-O-D can take any form and can also take human form.
