Playing with the pencils on the group W bench
By Jim LaMarcaIt might be working. Yes it is beginning to happen! I believe the sense of civility that we’re trying to convey with this site and our actions is beginning to have an effect. Today the movement for a civil election was covered in a radio trade journal. I was contacted with questions by several friends and colleagues. They report a similar sentiment of fear and apprehension about this election. Callers to just want someone “to take the first step” towards a better way of running an election.
Well anyone committing to and Act of Civility or just reading the posts and telling a friend is taking a step in a long journey to a better election process. Like the old Arlo Guthrie song Alice’s Restaurant said:
“And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. They may think it’s an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.”
Well we’ve got fifty people singin a bar of Act for Civility so I guess we’ve got a movement.
We just have to wait for it to come around here on the guitar. And sing it when it does.
