help Americans re-evaluate our priorities and sense of who we are as a country

Heard a bit of audio on DemocracyNow.org this afternoon that has me thinkin’... The author of the book below, Ms. Boggs, suggests that in the face of the state of the world, we ought to give some hard thought to who we are and what we should be doing.

I’m doing my part I suppose but what needs to be done in this country goes much farther than the 2008 election… it’s down to Americans’ way of life.

We need to be leaders, each of us, toward the future we want, not the one we’re currently set to get. And what does that mean, I wonder? Don’t you wonder too? Well, you should.
