Join the line ...


Instead of writing about life in the country -- this month I'm writing about life in the world. I was trying to figure out what to write about in March when I came upon the Line Around the World.

It's author, Deron Sedy, describes it as ...

"... an effort to get people all around this beautiful planet of ours to be nice to each other. And while we're at it, we might as well meet other great people on the World Wide Web.

"The way it works is this: A list is being kept, in exact order, of people who've registered to be part of this line. Each person connects to the people in front and in back of her/him on that list, forming one long line around the Internet.

"But the great part is that all the people who include themselves in this line are honor-bound to go out of their way to perform an act of goodness.

"This could be anything from giving 5 dollars or more to the charity of your choice to making lunch for the homeless man out on the corner to complimenting everyone you meet for a month. It's different for different people, but all these people want to do something to make life happier and better."

And this late-breaking news from Daron: "Also, the Line has been nominated for an award of some sort for internet innovations. Dunno what it is exactly, but Al Gore and Newt Gingrich both commend it."
