About Me

I consider myself to be a social visionary or if I can implement more of my visions, I might call myself a social engineer.

  • I assume that running a storefront "Information service" to connect people to each other on Philadelphia's South Street in 1970 - 1971 is one qualification for me to be considered a visionary.
    • I now describe this service as "Craigslist on 3 x 5 cards" where I introduced hundreds of local people to each other for jobs, housing & friendship.
    • Some people that I met married each other, some found work or project collaborators. Many in that community were artists, crafts people or budding entrepreneurs and the service I ran, called "Everything for Everybody" empowered them in ways that no other kind of service did at that time.
  • See more of my ideas and visions on Wikidelphia:

My bit about God's ears

A radio DJ 60 years ago used to say "Prayer doesn't change things, it changes people. And people change things."

I say, we are all part of the Universe. And the universe is God. If that's how you think of it, then your ears are God's ears. That's how prayer works. Our ears are God's ears.
