At Thursday night?s debate, Barack Obama talked about an Army captain serving in Afghanistan who found that, thanks to the war in Iraq, he or she didn?t have the support, ammunition, or resources necessary.
The right went nuts, insisting Obama?s story was bogus. ABC and NBC checked it out, talked to the Army captain directly, and found that the story checked out. Another misguided conservative attack for the list.

"The world is seemingly full of disconnected crises, but Rob Kall begs to differ. An exceptional pattern thinker, he connects a range of contemporary challenges through a framework of bottom-up solutions in a world dominated by top-down thinking. Mining extensive interviews with thought leaders and exploring an eclectic mix of leading-edge ideas, Bottom-Up describes a variety of latent and emergent characteristics of an evolutionary paradigm shift that's changing the world. Whether your focus is in business, leadership, activism, or organizations, Kall offers a practical conceptual map and toolset to engage the planetary evolution taking place all around us. If you want to make a difference and need inspiration for how to participate in this global transformation, there is plenty in this book to draw from."
