GWDF2 D14a Nov 2012, 2-3 day Book Slowdown.  Being 'Schooled' by the DNC convention -

I sure didn't anticipate this, but I'm allowing myself to divert several days now to being 'schooled' but what I'm finding to be brilliant, humane, scholarly, substantial speeches at the DNC, on:

• Humanity
• America
• Values
• Economics
• Good vs Evil

I don't know that we've had such a collection of serious citizens, patriots, intellectual and moral power, so intensely and seriously focussed... since the founding of the Republic -

• Michelle
• Cory Booker
• Castro
• Clinton (Soul-less, but utterly brilliant; savant-like)
• Elizabeth Warren
• Fluke...
• ... and tonight Pr. Obama

Were I expecting to live, or if I had more simultaneous lives, I'd spend days or weeks internalizing the immense wisdom on display here in the videos and transcripts.  But having only this one, and not expecting to live through the year, I still find that this is such an immense educational opportunity on so many levels, I'm diverting at least several days to the convention, and cspan replays of key speeches.

And this will divert me from Book 2, that I've been crawling toward for years now - bringing the Carbon portion of the brilliant, cursed, convoluted, inspired - Plan B 3.0 by Dr. Lester Brown to the same 'Actionable Essentials' treatment I just gave Dr. Hansen's work.

If I had 10,000 more lives, seriously, I know how to get this big stuff fixed.  But with just this one?  Not looking good. 

But I'll keep doing my best.
