My generation has to pick up where the previous one left off. Not only do we have to fix the problems of our generation, but we also have to finish what the boomers started.

When was the last time you heard a rapper start a track quoting Harvey Milk? This video would be the first time that has happened.

How does social change happen - with marches or clicks? To anyone who grew up in the 60's this seems like an absurd, if not offensive question. But t...

I am often plagued by the nonsensical way in which things operate. World systems for economy, international dialogue and civic participation all seem foreign to the way they should intuitively run.
