Not being on the book of face or other rapidly updating social media, I don't have much of an opportunity to post interesting articles or podcasts. This blog, or "blah-g" as my friend Rose would say, is not really about posting articles by my deliberate intention. That's okay. You all know what you like to read and what you like to listen to.
Today I make an exception. No big deal. But as I continue to work through my worries, fears, hopes and plans to be a better person and make this world safer for my kids, my thoughts all angle toward one unifying acknowledgement. We are much better at talking at each other than to each other. Talking is so much easier than listening. Trolling is so much more efficient than understanding.
So my post today is the single piece of media content that I have found to be most encompassing of my concerns about the world and my ideas for making it better. My post is not sexy. My post is not original. But it's full of content and worth a listen. Broadcast BEFORE the election, it might be the touchstone for a good conversation between you and someone you know.
