Was it only a few weeks ago that you introduced me to this concept and changed the way I think? Heh. We're only as good as the powers we put to use in our lives to reach out and touch the world and make a difference. It doesn't matter *where* you are physically, if you're online, you're in the game. In Second Life (and this applies to real life too), there's a wide open door to anything that you want to do. Personally it's taken my powers of insight, the ability that I have to feel out and touch other people, to hold their attention and give them something to talk about. And a bird and ninja. It cannot be left to one person to change the planet however, that's why there are superheroes, not a single superhero. You can change the world one person at a time, but that change has to affect others. So that the affect is those taught become superheroes and pay forward in their own way. Creating a chain of goodwill and affecting the greater good. Teaching what you know and sharing that with others is the key. Brogan's words are still ringing in my head, "Be a grasshopper. Teach. Share. Grow." That, IMO, is the real way to being a superhero. Wow. Was it only a few weeks ago that you introduced me to this concept and changed the way I think? Heh.

The challenge to work together is definitely ahead of us, but a place to start is truly accepting the different powers that each superhero possess and celebrating it like it's your own. Just another way of giving value. Chris, brilliant post that I’ll save to reread.

In my fondest dreams, for example, the democratic presidential condidates go into a room and assemble an unbeatable dream team. Biden becomes Secretary of State. Edwards Sect. of Health and Human Services. Bill Richardson- maybe Homeland Security; Al gore, Dept. of Interior, and so forth, everyone using their strengths and passions ofr the greater good. It could change the world, if only egos would not get in the way. I dream...... This is what’s truly important- getting everyone to work together for the common good.
