Segment Two- The Road Ahead, Why We May
Fail!
Tonight we are covering a special topic during our second
segment, but there will be no guest. The regular panel will be
engaged in a discussion moderated by Jeff. The general theme is:
that even though we have experienced some gains in the last year,
we have also lost several battles. The “war” of winning hearts and
minds has only begun.
Two specific case points will be highlighted.
The first is the relative fatalistic attitude of the technology
community. We are an intelligent and dynamic community, but when it
comes to fighting for a cause, we seem to be as fatalistic as it
gets. Bottomline, we do not get involved, and we DO NOT put our
money where our mouth is. We have failed to support the groups that
do our battles.
Second, is the problem of how we deal with
Partisanship in our efforts to forward our causes.
This is not a problem of people in the technology community persay,
but it seems all Americans. The last 10 years have been a
transition for the US. There is far too much hatered in the land.
It has polluted the landscape. The recent impact of the anti and
pro war marches in the US are evidence of this problem. The fringes
command too much focus. We will NOT get our goals accomplished
unless we can win friends in both American political parties. We
are walking on a knife edge. If we fail, the stakes are very
high.
How do we balance free speech (partisanship) with the
politique?
