Does growing up rich, make you a better person?  It's scary to me that I am reliving the seventies, again...and revisiting movies and books that provided some compass for our future then.  Does anyone else remember Irwin Allen and Charlton Heston?

There must be a better way to build a better society.

Andrew Carnegie provided over 2,500 libraries across the world between 1883 and 1929.  What a great idea and gift.   The Brooklyn Branch of the Cleveland Public Library is one of Carnegie's libraries.

An amazing Jeremy Rifkin interview (in english).

Definitely worth the time!!!

Nobody sees the coming crisis :-(

I had to let this video load a fair amount of time to watch it unbroken.

i did a post about requesting help putting all   my post and comments on a dvd or cd and haven't received a reply    (see below)

It’s around 7:00 A.M. on December 4, 1969, and attorney Jeff Haas is in a police lockup in Chicago, interviewing Fred Hampton’s fiancée. She is describing how the police pulled her from the room as Fred lay unconscious on their bed. She heard one officer say, “He’s still alive.” She then heard two shots.

Today was the swearing-in of the new mayor of East Cleveland, prior City Council President Gary Norton Jr.

If you get bored reading this post or fall asleep that's perfectly understandable. So, I present to you "How a guy in tech support who documents crap all day, finds his new county district":

1.) Googled "issue 6 cuyahoga county districts". Got a bunch of PD archived stories about the campaign. No luck.

2.) Tried again. Googled "Cuyahoga County Charter". Alright, there we go. Found a link to "Cuyahoga County Charter Transition Advisory Group"

3.) Open web page. Found a link for "Charter".

The Known Universe - After hovering over Mount Everest and the gorges that plunge to the Ganges, you are pulled through the Earth's atmosphere to glimpse the inky black of space over Tibet's high desert. So begins The Known Universe, a new film produced by the American Museum of Natural History. The magic of this film, though, happens as the inky black expands.

Recently, Charles Michener, NEO's favorite prodigal son, raconteur and bon vivant, penned an ode to living in NEO, which was published in the Plain Dealer.
