In other news, consider voting on this thing:

Change.org (Obama's transition team website) has an Ideas for Change in America thing that folks submit their ideas to. The ideas get voted on by visitors to the site.

"The "Top 10 Ideas for America" will be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day. We will then build a national campaign to advance each idea in Congress."

Basically, you should check out the site, because this could be some powerful stuff. Of course, I'm going to encourage you to check out the global warming category, specifically the idea to "ReBuild and RePower America with a Green Stimulus Package." But really, go nuts. Read the whole site, top to bottom. Vote on the things you like the sound of.

I love this Ideas for Change thing. Democracy in action. Well, democracy in action for people with access to the internet and who are well-educated enough to write their ideas eloquently. At least it's a step in the right direction.
