On to Edinburgh!

So people are making their way to Edinburgh for the big G8 meeting. Bush made a speech this past friday talking about Africa, it's children, and the support they need. This is a good thing. I hope it's not just talk, and I'm even willing to suspend my usual cynicism when it comes to the idea of ending poverty. I think it's a grand idea, and why not? Why can't it be done? I'm especially thrilled that Art and Culture are the main vehicles for promoting positive, rational change, and creating an environment for constructive dialogue. I'm watching the G8 with renewed interest. Let's see what happens next!
