What if we took Martin Luther King's words seriously today?

Friends,

I just asked this question here on Facebook and I'd be very interested in your answer: what if we took some of the words of Martin Luther King seriously today? What would we do?

My last post here, one post back, was about my big idea with the Colorado Caucus. It produced no comments. There were readers, or at least visitors to the page. But no comments. Maybe everyone was just bowled over, awe struck with the brilliance of my simple idea.

The Colorado Caucus: a proposal to save it from John Wren.

I've posted thing of interest and made comments here on www.JohnWren.com for a long time.

Thinking career rather than startup.

It was not until the 1960s that the startup fad began.

Startup has never been written about as much as careers.
And the more talk about startup the fewer startups.

Probate Courts

I'm forming a community of practice to dialogue about the probate process. Two brothers I know well have been drawn into a ridiculous legal battle that has  resulted in each of them paying lawyers some $250,000 I'm told. My brother Randy dying without a will has resulted in a similar situation that has the potential of the same sort of thing, a concern that is not at all frivolous or trivial. Others have shared their probate court nightmares with me.

I'm calling the University of Denver law school and a couple of academic departments to find students who might be interested. I will bring this up as a topic at our Socrates Cafe at the University of Denver tomorrow (Saturday, 1-6) which is free and open to everyone, you reading this now would be welcome to join us. For the last couple of years we've been meeting in Anderson Academic Commons (was Penrose Library), more info about it and other metro-Denver Socrates Cafes at www.Meetup.com/Socrates-Cafe-Society  

Pot and politics.

What do you think? Is pot ok? My views here later.

I'll be suggesting a related topic at Socrates Cafe in LoDo this evening: how do we individually and as a society make decisions regarding what's healthy and what is not healthy. Have health concerns and fitness centers become our religion? If so, what is the accepted dogma?

Usually a good discussion, 6 p.m. at Panera Bread LoDo, more at www.Meetup.com/Socrates-Cafe-Society about this evening (Fri, 1-5) and our other metro-Denver Socrates Cafes. Join us!
