Its not a global village, but we're in a highly interconnected globe.

Democracy is not just voting for your leaders; it's really premised upon ordinary citizens understanding the issues.

Humans are humans because we are able to communicate with each other and to organize to do things together that we can't do individually.

Knowing of how to make use of online tools without being overloaded with too much information is, like it or not, an essential ingredient to personal success in the twenty-first century.

Whenever a technology enables people to organize at a pace that wasn't before possible, new kinds of politics emerge.

If, like many others, you are concerned social media is making people and cultures shallow, I propose we teach more people how to swim and together explore the deeper end of the pool.

A lot of people use collaborative technologies badly, then abandon them. They aren't 'plug-and-play.' The invisible part is the social skill necessary to use them.

If you depend on where the chestnuts are going to be, and where the deer are, you have to be attuned to the outside world.

People's social networks do not consist only of people they see face to face. In fact, social networks have been extending because of artificial media since the printing press and the telephone.

I think e-mail petitions are an illusion. It gives people the illusion that they're participating in some meaningful political action.

You can't pick up the telephone and say, 'Connect me with someone else who has a kid with leukemia.'

To the knights of faith nobody believes.

Surrender to your fear so you may triumph over it.

My weakness is that I care so much!!! She knew my weakness and USED ME as long as she wants!

When one attains self-knowledge, distinctions of race and religion vanish.

The best wisdom is knowing not to judge anyone and to be kind to everyone.

Rich or poor, the same breath of life.

Take away the robots and the special effects, and Star Wars is just the simple story of a group of friends planning a terrorist attack.

They are who we thought they were!

I want no Christmas without a burden for lost souls, a message for sinners, a heart to bring in the lost sheep so dear to the Shepherd, the sinning souls for whom Christ died.

Gray and overcast from my earthly perspective, but it's sunny above these storm clouds. Grace lets us see life from God's point of view.
