Making a Ruckus

A few weeks ago, a person I admire told me “Go make your ruckus, sir.”

A few days later, a radio personality started talking about things I’ve been saying for years, and I was irritated that I’d been scooped.

Tonight, for the hundred-millionth time, I sat telling my wife about these ideas that I have that seem so crazy but that I can’t seem to let go. And she told me that I should start telling people about them.

So here I am.

Not here we are, because you’re not here yet. Maybe you’ll never be here. But I’m going to write the things I keep thinking about and then I’m going to tell everyone I know where to find them. And then maybe one of these days you will be here and I’ll say something that resonates with you the way it resonates with me and you’ll share it.

I hope that when you do, you’ll share this blog. Because ultimately, this blog (like all blogs worth reading) is about giving people a place to gather and communicate.

Because there’s a better way for us to live. There’s a better way for us to interact with each other, to think about each other, and to help each other.

Something better than capitalism.
