Sure, it’s a catchy tune and will infect your head so you find yourself humming it at odd times, but whoever though “United Breaks Guitars” would show the power of the new form of consumer activism.

There has been a firestorm behind the scenes on the proposed legislation HR 1728. To recap: This is a bill that has already been passed by the House and is now being heard in committee at the Senate.

I catch up on my blogs, write some articles and then absolutely enjoy writing on one of my three projects: A Season in Juarez: Stalled slightly now.
