Solitarity

I'm sure you've heard about the "Don't Tase Me, Bro" video that's been making its way around the interwebs lately. But I liked Stephen Colbert's analysis (tongue in cheek, but good analysis). Why didn't anyone stand up?

As I have thought about it, I think John Mayer's song got it right: We're just waiting on the world to change. And I have to say that that's a pretty crappy excuse. "It's not that we don't care, we just know that the fight ain't fair." What?!? Since when has making a stand against wrongdoing been a bad idea?

We find within community the ability to stand. We have others to hold us up, to fight the long fight. Disconnection breeds a callousness that says, "It's not my problem." But connection can often be a very vulnerable, dangerous place. And at the end of the day, there's no place I'd rather be.

Speaking of fighting together, Halo 3 will feature 4-player co-op! Next week, I'll finish the fight.
