With a little help from my friends.

        Feeling a bit over-whelmed right now. Have started a "crowd funding" effort on IndieGoGo. Want to find 5,000 people to donate $20 each by June 14th. The silence has been deafening. 

      Working on a presentation for TEDxNashville at the end of this month. I have been nominated, but still don't know if I have been accepted. The odds are very long, but the opportunity is huge, so the effort is worth it. TED talks are limited to 18 minutes. That is hardly any time at all. It goes by really fast. Again, the silence from Nashville has been deafening.

      Also, I am working on a website at forgivenessonline.info so I can have a hub for all my Internet efforts. I am building the website myself because the bids I got to have it done from web designers were through the roof. The only capital assets I have are between my ears. 

      The challenges for me are daunting. I want to change how the nation looks at the bombings of Hiroshima of Nagasaki. There are two legacies from the bombings: one is that we did a horrific thing, the other, is that those bombings ended the war.

      For over 50 years our nation has only focused on one of the legacies: the horrific bombings. This is historically shallow and intellectually dishonest in the extreme.

      The hurdles in front of me are huge, but I know this project is the right thing to do. With a little help from my friends, it will happen.
