Simple Innovations

Thanks to DVR, Ben and watched a little Letterman the other night and saw President Clinton. He was talking about how many jobs we could create by building green energy and innovations. Simple example: put people to work whitewashing tar roofs in big cities. It's cheaper than roof gardens (which are better) but still saves a lot of energy and money for the building owner. He also believes that our country's best shot at economic recovery is building renewable energy sources on our own soil. It all made so much sense! But how do we prioritize real solutions and pragmatic progress when the political climate is so toxic?

We're registered independent. We like ideas that work.

Maybe Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity will change the tide of election season. It's hard to make progress when we're too busy fighting.

Wishful thinking? Maybe. I guess that conversation has been going for awhile.
