Teknoids

My colleague, Mr. Bruce is fond of using the politics of divisiveness
and derision that are a relic of the past. I believe we have to get
beyond this old and poisonous model that is corrosive to the
conversations we have here on Teknoids and embrace a new model of
dialog and interaction. I counter with a video that is not funny, but
uplifting. A video that demonstrates my willingness to contribute to
the community's future. Watch, learn. cry and be inspired.
