Shifting gears

This past election has shifted the gears of our country. A whole lot of people woke up, got up, and got active this last cycle. However, there are parts of the country, mostly the rural parts, that need a serious infusion of young people. What passes for young right now in my corner are people aged 40 something. We need people half that age to start getting involved.

Along with this shift in the electorate is another that needs to take place in the American consciousness, and with it, a change in its culture and objects of worship. The purpose of this blog is to begin highlighting what those changes are. These changes are already on the move as this last election shows with a hard turn toward sanity, humanity, and a genuine caring for people. It was a turn away from labels, divisiveness, and ideological demagoguery. The people asserted their sovereignty and took back control. I don't think they are likely to be so easily pushed around anymore. At least not for a very long while.
