About me
I'm an Australian living in Sydney, in a house with my brother and 7 husky/shepherds. He watches TV while I use the computer. My dog Lani hates the computer because she'd rather go walking. I like to try and find out how things work, since discovering what is beneath the cover, can show a new way of looking at something you know, but which can now be understood More clearly.
"I may be guilty of being an idealist, ( ..and a bad poet - but that is more painful) - but I have never had the courage to believe in nothing"
Don Quixote, played by Alonzo Quijana, played by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, played by Peter O'Toole in
"Man of La Mancha"
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks helps me learn, because when I clip something, it forces me to read it, so the bits I clip can carry the story, rather than think I know about something by reading the headlines.
Clipmarks shows people agree about far more things than they disagree.
In the big picture, Clipmarks can help fill a lot of the gaps, and the way messages can be seen both by subject, and by popular opinion, provides a link between the two. Every clipper's clip is posted, because the clipper is satisfied that the clip reflects their point of view, shows a topic of interest, or because they need a safe place to put their bookmarks, with pictures, in case their system crashes.
We need the people to save the world, politicians can't understand the situation while they are isolated in a power bubble. Clipmarks is a great way pick up stories that aren't in the headlines, but are often more important. To see if other people are thinking the same thing I am (or vice versa), and learn by the way they think. It keeps my mind active and shows me how much I have to learn.
I like the way the clips are listed as clipped, so any range of things might be there. It's easy to learn something by surprise.
