Tomorrow afternoon at Stanford I am guest lecturing cooperating at Howard Rheingold's class alongside Zack Rosen from CivicSpace on Emergent Democracy.
Personally, I haven't found motivation and opportunity to participate since the campaign. I have been supportive as a toolmaker, but fell out of practice six months ago. The general lull in political activism, let alone participation, is hopefully a calm before a storm.
The big questions now are how to keep the current administration accountable, reform the Democratic party where Dean may give us a role, drive issue and cause specific initatives -- and cause change abroad while respecting soverignty.
Andrea posed a fantastic riddle on water privatization:
What are some ways the countries like Peru, Bolivia, and others could develop alternative or hybrid solutions to this social dilemma?
If any Emergent Democracy participants have suggestions, I would love to bring them into the conversation tomorrow.
