Election post mortem - continued

There has been much writing about the election results in blogs, the daily papers, the weekly magazines, and I am sure we have not see the last of it yet.

I was troubled by the red/blue map and wrote on that already. One of the troubles not mentioned previously is covered nicely in the Purple Haze posting on BoingBoing. This is a better graphic, more reflective of the reality.

Thomas Oliphant wrote in the Boston Globe today about the gay marriage deception. Well said!

The editorial column in FastCompany's January 2003 issue recommended changing the conversation. We could re-write the column and replace the business news with the election news. The advice left for us is to change the conversation. Let's be real about what we say. Let's mean what we say. The quote I found earlier this week fits here too. Our conversations need to be authentic. We need to walk the talk.

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Gandhi
