thanks for the list

I love youtube but I avoid to much internet on my telephone, at one point a few years ago, I was addicted to reading horoscopes, next thing you know in one month my bill was over two hundred dollars.

I said forget it, I pay a monthly set cost with rogers high speed, and as of tomorrow it will be a wireless modem, so...same cost..

But appreciate this list

Intense

Hi clueless crafter,

Wow. That is an intense story. I've heard many stories like that from people who become vegetarian. The worst was from a woman who as a girl had to eat the rabbit she had been playing with earlier at a family farm for dinner.

Hugging a Dead Chicken

cluelesscrafter — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:18:30 -0500

On the topic of animals and respect, I had to share this. On Friday night, we decided to relax at home and roast a whole chicken for dinner. I began the prep work without second thought, quickly unwrapping and washing it before its visit to the oven. When I went to pat it dry, a wave of emotion washed over me. I felt sad for its pain and even sadder by the way I was treating it. Its skin was incredibly soft and its wings felt like the arms of an infant. When I picked it up, it hung limp under its weight, completely plucked clean and heartlessly pricked with a built in thermometer.

I sobbed. Sobbed in respect and with profound sadness for its suffering. My eyes opened.

Has anyone else experienced this connection?

And I FaceBook for my own social use but I also use my FaceBook page for my progressive social change agenda. I read your article with future uses in mind. Thank you. It was really concise and helpful.

Measuring success

This is so important and yet most social media programs do not measure ROI according to a recent study.

3 Minutes of Family News

Britt Bravo — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:22:15 -0500

Hi Lori,

I'm with you. That's why I watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart (:

I don't think the news would have to be all positive . . . it would just have to be presented differently . . .for example, take a look at this timeline for the U.S. in Iraq on TIME for Kids or their coverage of Obama's trip to the Middle East.

Love happy news!

loriluna — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:16:04 -0500

Britt that is a fabulous idea - pitch it!

I think people are sick of negative news wouldn't it be awesome to have something positive even if it were only 3 min? And I don't even HAVE kids and I like the idea - I'd watch!

Young people are awesome

Britt Bravo — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:13:44 -0500

I'm glad you liked the video, Lori!

I agree, Virginia. It would be cool if the network news had a "watch with your family" section of the news every night that was reported in a more young-person friendly way. I mean, if they can report international news in 3 minutes flat, they can create a 3-min kid-friendly segment!

Kids can do some amazing things

Virginia DeBolt — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 08:31:26 -0500

This video is a good example of that. I think we can also help kids by helping them understand the news.
