China withdraws from Tibet, with Apologies.

Someone took John Lennon’s advice and imagined “all the people, livin’ life in peace:”

Imagine.

It’s a simple exercise (and don’t follow any of the links, as it will burst the bubble by leading you to the real news), but it brought tears, shivers, smiles. It’s a glimpse of the world as it could be, and it’s alternately hopeful and depressing.

Here are some of my favorites:

President signs single-payer health care into law
Economic Gap Narrowing As Real Wages Rise
Lucas authorizes fan reworkings of episodes 1-3
UPDATE: South India Mahayana Monastic Debates [Under “Sports”]

Can you imagine this?

    I loved that idea for a web page. It saddened me to have to close it and read the actual news. That notwithstanding, I think sometimes giving people a glimpse of what might be is the best way to inspire them to work for the sake of the future in the here-and-now..
