Positive Thinking | by Skye
Despite my enthusiasm for political blogging, I'm still having trouble working out a system for doing it consistently. For today, let me just offer up this quote from Van Jones, an activist doing work to connect issues of environmentalism, community development, and incarceration:
One thing I've been saying a lot lately is that Dr. King didn’t get famous with a speech called "I Have a Complaint." At some point, we have to say what we're for.
You can read more about Mr. Jones in "Green Jobs, Not Jails" on Joel Makower's blog called Two Steps Forward. And I'm going to keep his words firmly in mind.

Sometimes it's good to write down the "I don't want" list in order to flesh out the "I want" list. Might be good to spend a meeting on this, I bet it would help flesh out common ground with conservatives like your mom.
But I really like the quote above.
