First of Many

So.... "where do we go from here?" you ask.  How we got here matters less than how we are going to get to where we need to be.....as fast as possible.  Purge the world of bad habits and start anew.  Not to be misconstrued as "throwing out the baby with the bath water", but abandoning thingss that have historically not worked.  This is what the new administration promised... Change.

What is there to change you ask?  Lets start with the campaign promises:
Government transparency..... can someone build an application/service that tracks the pork, uncovers the fraud, and helps this countries electorate become qualified, informed consumers of government
Public Education..... flip it on its head....somebody..... please!  Give it to Nike and Coke. They already fill our kids heads with product placements and advertisements from 3pm to bedtime.  Who cares if "this pop quiz is brought to you by McDonalds".
Healthcare......basic/quality national healthcare doesn't mean stem cell research and advanced/expensive treatments of complicated illnesses.... rather give us emergency care and preventative care for free and upsell patients more advanced treatments.

My feeling is that there is an opportunity for world change NOW!  Why? Because everyone is listening.  That is half the battle!  Now lets think BIG and start the chain reaction of change.
