Brandon ... enjoying my book by James Lovelock, but it just raises so many questions for me

Book?
Eric: The most important resource is People, and the book may not be the most effective way to get more people ... Good Works may be more effective, as with Paul Krafel's work in the fields
Brandon: I agree intellectually, but so many groups have coalesced around a media work (Zeitgeist Movement, Living Universe Foundation) ... also we can have successive versions of the book recording more and more good works, starting with things like the bicycle pump
Ben: Can our good works as members of other groups count?
Eric: We can record them in the book but SolSeed can't take credit
Brandon: Also, how to talk about our good works without people seeing it as bragging?
Eric: Paul was able to do it, by enthusiastically talking about how that vision is good for the world rather than "holier than thou"

Eric ... I feel like I understand how we relate to the one page plan better; I like Brandon's idea that we should each work where our passion leads us. I really enjoyed working on facebook together too.
Shelley ... I tried hard to do the comment on Facebook ... it was hard but I felt like I succeeded ... it was hard because I was thinking about my boys
Brandon ... I always like working on things during the calls (for example the comments on the Facebook page) ... I also felt good about having my WWWs done ... I'd like to do that again :-)
Ben ... still sleepy ... I'd like to get into doing all my WWWs too :-)
