I do think it has a lot to do with the election. Even people who aren't following it seem to be affected by it in some way or another. It's a pretty crazy season and with the economy tanking and other things going on in the world, well, people are just wound up. I know I have been throughout all of it. We do have a responsibility to each other though, and right now I think it's extremely important that we remain calm, tolerant, and open-minded. Those people who attacked Dooce for her views are expressing their frustration but there are healthier, more beneficial ways to channel that energy. Hopefully some of them will come here and read your calming words :) There is something in the air. I do think it has a lot to do with the election.

The internet is interative media. The difference now is that anyone with an internet connection and desire to influence others has a digital platform that reaches millions of possible viewers. Joe the Blogger and Jane the Internet Marketer have the opportunity to reach as large an audience as any celebrity, or major corporation. How simple it has become to release ones beleifs and values, or lack of, out into the worldwide web. Like attracts like and the next thing you know there are groups, and forums formed - groups of like minded individuals feeling empowered by their numbers. Movements begin, agendas are created, strategies and tactics refined - all to better convince the non-beleivers how wrong they are and how right "we"are. All that ethical, open minded, good hearted people can do that doesn't add to themoise is to take responsibility for what they are sending out across the network of minds. Don't be adding to the rage and the fear, the manipulation, or the confusion. Stay in touch with your self and how you feel and how you beleive and how you want this eality to be and do your part by contributing the energy of hope, happiness, compassion, inspiration, courage, and love - no matter what!
