The United States of America
August 25th, 2009 | 
Author: We are at a crossroads in America where we can become more and more a nation of special interests or we can be as one nation committed to the common good. Rather than point fingers at who or what is right or wrong, we should look for the common ground that will let us forge alliances that produce far more creative outcomes than any single institution of government or business could devise on its own.
This is a time for listening, for thoughtful collaboration, and for reasonable compromise so that we can move forward as a nation. Our economic interests and our social needs can be simultaneously served. In order that we might all enjoy the New American Prosperity, we would do well to be as a nation of entrepreneurs with a collective social conscience.
Invitation: Listen to both sides of a proposal. Release the positive energy that is inside conflict. Transform opposition into innovation.

Your blog came up in my search and I’m stricken by what you have written on this subject. I am currently branching out my search and thus cannot contribute further, still, I have bookmarked your website and will be returning to keep up with any upcoming updates. Just love it and thanks for allowing my comment.
I’m so glad to have found your web page. My pal mentioned it to me before, yet never got around to checking it out until now. I must express, I’m floored. I really enjoyed reading through your posts and will absolutely be back to get more.
We owe much to Senator Kennedy. He championed the needs of those who sometimes get left behind in the American Dream. He was a collaborator who could bring two sides together on an issue. He will be missed.
Good Afternoon,
Today, Edward Kennedy died after a long battle with brain cancer. There are those who did not agree with or like his ideas but I’ve never of anyone who did not find him dynamic, impassioned and a superb negotiator. It is often said that Mr. Kennedy was able to compromise and to find commonality between two warring factions and that he was one of the best.
Compromise and acceptance of each other seems to me a whole lot more sensible than blaming and focusing on difference, making it difficult to get into the solution.
Sincerely yours,
Trish Kinney
