I'm not up on the Internet, but I hear that is a democratic possibility. People can connect with each other. I think people are ready for something, but there is no leadership to offer it to them. People are ready to say, 'Yes, we are part of a world.' ↗

Societies are noisy affairs, drowning out the sound of ourselves and our connection. ↗
