I spent some time this morning contemplating what to do. Do I engage? I could spend all day tweeting at them telling them why they're wrong, but to what end? I think the answer is to rise above. So I wrote about that: http://happymonster.co/2011/11/08/rising-above At the core of it is something genius that Jacob said: *“They have money, but we have people- and that is much more powerful.”* With that post out of my system, it's time to go back to focusing on helping my community be awesomer!
