What a concept!    Thanks to the sleep deprived mind of "Pathos" (a gristmill blogger) for this gem.

"The best solution to both peak oil and global warming is to hawk renewables like they'll save us all by themselves, and alter our lifestyles like renewables won't do a damn thing."

Act as if we are winning this battle when stirring up the powerfull forces of eco-revolution.  And act as though we all better become zero-carbon footprint monks in our private lives.  It's a zen thing.

The Ghandi thing that Barack does so well.  "Become the change you want to see in the world".

When they smear him, Barack stands above it, as politics as usual.  But not in blame or judgement.  He says this is understandable, no reason to whine about it.  Of course Rev Wright ads will be flooding the airwaves.

Relax and point out it just goes to show the candidates and media pushing this stuff just aren't used to the idea of real change.  real problem solving solutions and real dialogue about that change.

And that is why he is going to win.  Perfect.  He leaves his opponents in their own mud, offering a hand up to a better view if they want it.  Like a Tia Chi master flows around the opponents attack.  Never touched, always in motion, always at rest.

So when we ride our plugin bikes by hummers stuck in traffic jams.  be friendly, not judgemental.  Auuum...
