A troubled child once asked her mother, "Mom, teach me how to think."
The mother responded to her baby girl with reassurance, "You already know. Simply be honest when you speak, and pay close attention to someone you trust." The child chose her older sister who had been her confidant and playmate for the first ten years of her life. This past week, Charlie has justified the mother's faith -- by following what she has called "Charlie's Angels" (i.e. the better angels of our nature).
Sadly, these youngest two of four children had been raised in a society where violence and abuse is common among parents -- a "schizoid society" according to Rollo May. The mother in this case had miraculously escaped the violence that had divided so many of her peers, but our society, hooked on money and drugs, imposed blame in order to destroy her family anyway.
How? Fostering denial and allowing corporations and conglomerates to wrangle a "free lunch" at the expense of taxpayers, have made the fate of this family seem certain. The mother has a passion for reading and the library that fits Dave's description. The daughters have inherited IT in a different form -- hard work and television. Their future does not depend on public education or the funding of government.
At RainbowWay.org a group of five RubyFriends has been collecting the stories of a whole community for updating the living book, George's Business: "Tending the Sacred Fire of Liberty." They are Abba (Lloyd & Billie Nelson), Herb (Sage RSVP), Dex (from Rome, Georgia) and Ruth. Ruth plays the role of scribe at the computer keyboard & the role of Mom in real life. S/he follows IT (WWW), and they travel The Way together.

"Five NEW Dynamic Views"
With George's Business[http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Nelsons.Rocky.Ford.Service.Station.719-980-0779], I am opening IT, a door that has been slammed shut against our children and the poor. Defining the word, just one among the many that we use in English, these days is as simple as clicking IT.
Google has offered the world and US dex "Five new dynamic views" for reading a blog in your own personal and private connection machine. Feel free to write and ASK! We do IT at the local public library NOW, as we have done for many years, thanks to many public corporations like Microsoft and Carnegie.
