About Me

I care about good ideas and people who have the ability to change reality. Itâ€™s really that simple. The older I get the more I realize we control the fabric of social order. Human influence on human behavior. We currently suffer from poor taste in priorities. The things which matter so much to our well being end up on the interest cutting floor. Letâ€™s take a look at a very small sample.Global Warming; fossil dependency; foreign intervention on sovereign soil; domestic surveillance; sub-prime mortgage crisis; value of the dollar falling; national debt spinning out of control; erosion of property rights; outsourcing and the complete collapse of urban public educationDid I mention the polar ice caps are melting?These are not partisan issues. They are all symptoms of an infection that must join us together. We can eradicate those things which have caused us fear and mishap. We've done it before.I believe in the power of positive ideas. If they don't work, we'll try something else.Share with me your ideas. That is why I am here.Lennon had it right, he is not the only dreamer, lets put the magic to work.If you want to learn more about me, please visit my website www.jasonholsman.comGet your layout at TweakYourPage.com
