I do believe in heroes because I've seen them, and I've met them, quiet as they are and quiet as they go.
And I hope the ideas lead. Ideas like the $50 project, ideas like local dollars, ideas like permacultual restoration, ideas like the talking stick. I believe in the ideas and the people who carry them forward without bravado and some times at great personal risk. Here's to that and this future we live in brought to us by ideas and the people who risked belief in them.

He has been a political activist for many years and I like some of the things he says and I liked some stuff he wrote about the anti piracy and copyright laws. He was an advocate. But if anything taught me not to believe in personalities it was Obama.
I do like the fifty dollar project and I would no matter whose idea it was.
