I canceled my carnivals too,
And that fact often makes me feel blue.
Perhaps some day once more
I’ll post carnies galore,
But for now I’m as bereft as you.

Blog Carnivals used to be fun.
But now it appears that I’m done.
Cuz the site we’re all using
To build them’s refusing
My stuff — no more Mad Kane post fun.

Thanks so much for your comment. I agree about positive solutions: words that “work” must “work” for creating solutions, not for keeping the status quo of divisiveness, hate, and mistrust.

Great Post. I just wrote a piece about Luntz and his so-called “Words that Work” that are not necessarily factual or true – - they work based on his focus group questions to find out what pushes people’s buttons. You are right, “activist” was made into a nasty word by the word doctors. Lets remember that our forefathers were activists too.

Glenn Beck and Fox just want to spread hate and distrust. There need to be more people willing to post more positive messages for creating real solutions instead of creating hate and division.

Thanks, Harry. I’ll have to add that to my reading list.

I recommend the next book he brought out, “The Ecotechnic Future.” I’m reading it right now. Really good.

I like the fact that JMG puts his life where his mouth is, having made significant steps to prepare for a low energy future.
