This, of course, is the essential danger of blogging and aggregators. You learn over time to trust someone's judgment by following their blog. Then they add to your already overfull reading list with these kinds of recommendations. On the other hand, isn't it better to fill whatever reading time you have with material that domes so highly recommended?

A few of my favorite visionaries. Some are diamonds in the rough, their signal often mistaken for noise; others are so unassuming that people hardly notice them. Others yet are just beginning to gather momentum on issues whose importance will probably have become blindingly obvious a few years from now. All of them envision big changes, and the glimpses I've had into their unusual minds have convinced me that they are onto something important, so I keep an eye out.

Definition of Honesty.

I heard a few powerful words regarding honestly recently and wanted to pass them on. I had never heard it put this way:

Honesty is the intent not to deceive.

Sounds like a plan to me. The 21st century is not going to be kind to control freaks or their lawyers.

Bill O'Reilly trying to bury his Fresh Air interview. Terry Gross conducted an extraordinary interview with notorious demagogue Bill O'Reilly on her Fresh Air last October (listen here). Now, O'Reilly is withholding permission for NPR to relicence portions of the program. Please tell all your friends about this interview and get them to listen to it, so that O'Reilly's plan to bury the interview backfires and this becomes the definitive O'Reilly interview of all time.
