Marketing works. Certainly not a revelation of a comment, but it is amazing that we are in a time when everything is packaged in a way that moves it as far away from its warts as possible Clean coal isn't clean, and The Learning Channel features Honey Boo Boo. When we run from the warts and condemn the imperfections in life, we get to a point when we can't even talk about making them better. A society that is willing to grow has to be vulnerable enough to discuss their blind spots, their strengths that are actually their weaknesses, and their invisible people. I have a huge desire for more transparency and less layers of marketing on everything. Looking for a complex answer to the complex tragedies of New Town, CT and other locales, maybe this is a piece of the answer. Let's get real.
