Many Americans felt the inspiration that was in Egypt when the protests got huge, or at the end of the Cold War the Czech revolution. Haiti's are celebrating Aristide's return.

Today in Haiti is like during Woodstock. Hopefully it will not just lead to memories like Woodstock left on the 60’s generation.

The pictures and live coverage in the following link are truly inspirational. They are from The Center for Economic and Policy Research, in Washington DC,

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.
