[Ailist] Of interest

[Nancy Stetson]

Colleagues,

One of the candidates for president has proposed using AI to 
"envision the community we want."  Here's the URL and below it a 
snippet of his remarks at the DNC:

< KUCINICH >: My fellow Americans, my fellow Democrats, we've lost so 
much since 9/11. It is time to bind up our nation's wounds from 9/11. 
It is time, in the words of a great president, Abraham Lincoln, to 
move forward with malice toward none and charity for all.

This is the philosophy behind the 9/10 Forum -- the 9/10 Forum -- an 
idea of Elizabeth's. As we travel across America, Elizabeth and I 
will bring together groups to rediscover who we were before 9/11, to 
envision the community we want. And to create a plan to get there 
through a process known as appreciative inquiry, we can rediscover 
the beauty of ourselves and our nation.

And I'm asking you to contact us at < kucinich.us to join this effort 
to restore the soul of America, reconnecting with our highest 
aspirations in truth and reconciliation, with compassion.


Whatever your political persuasion, you might want  to signal your 
willingness to join in the effort. Are any of you already involved?

Nancy
