Even though I have been too lazy to respond to a lot of Scott's recent posts, I appreciate that he is creating threads that are fostering "community."

I have recently reflected that I have become too much of a consumer - of information, gadgets - even experiences, and not an actor.

There is a lot of woe in the world, and the world needs more actors - not consumers.

Not that Scott's posts are solving world hunger. But they do increase connectedness - not at the "We Are The World" level. That's not what this forum is about. More at the level of showing interest in other people's thoughts, experiences and sharing insights.
