The good Doctorow

Some wise words:
"This is the best time in history to have a worst time - the time at which our capacity to do things in a way that's outside of traditional economics is at its highest.  It's never been easier to come together to have fun, to make stuff, to change things."
-Cory Doctorow via BoingBoing

Right on.  Seems to echo a certain someone's address to Congress last night, namely this part:
"The answers to our problems don't lie beyond our reach.  They exist in our laboratories and universities; in our fields and our factories; in the imaginations of our entrepreneurs and the pride of the hardest-working people on Earth.  Those qualities that have made America the greatest force of progress and prosperity in human history we still possess in ample measure.  What is required now is for this country to pull together, confront boldly the challenges we face, and take responsibility for our future once more."

The guy is a freaking oratorial genius.
