A calling ...

"We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims."

"Make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."

Unknown, Unseen, Unheard, Gone

The Sad Story of an Unknown DC Sports Legend

Alex Prewitt's feature article in today's Washington Post Sports section is an example of great feature writing -- I was bawling -- but a couple of donkeys are pummeling the writer for exhibiting a little poetic license. One critic concluded that the young man who didn't get the recognition he probably deserved was "nothing special." If you like something specific about Prewitt's writing, and feel that we should pause and reflect upon the passing of an unknown sports legend, please comment. Many people who suffer from a condition Dr. V.S. Ramachandran described as metaphor blindness, seem to want everybody to see the world as dull and grey as they see it, and would shout down anyone who sees life differently.
