I've been back from Texas for almost a week. The internet access to my house is turned back on, and I'm able to start updating this site again.
The experience at Camp Casey taught me many profound lessons; the most important one was this: Nothing is impossible when you work from a space of love.
With that in mind, I'm going to get back into journalism by blogging on this site. Blogs are the future of reporting, and activist blog-reporters are the next trend for news-gathering in this country. Brainshrub.com is going to be a part of this revolution.
The old "counterpoint" system is going to remain a staple of Brainshrub.com and I have ideas on how to improve and expand on it. Brainshrub will continue to be a "progressive news portal with counterpoints," but it's going to have a greater orientation for news-reporting.
