Charter for Compassion
Nov 10, 2008

Join the world at www.charterforcompassion.org to write the Charter for Compassion. The Charter brings together the voices of people from all religions. It seeks to remind the world that while all faiths are not the same, they all share the core principle of compassion and the Golden Rule. The Charter will change the tenor of the conversation around religion. It will be a clarion call to the world. The Charter is a result of Karen Armstrong's 2008 TED Prize wish.

On November 11, 2008, Charter for Compassion will become publicly active.  All religious and secular beliefs are welcome. Members will also be able to upload video.  You may watch the video and join here:

http://charterforcompassion.org/

There is also a Charter for Compassion group on Facebook.

Please, if you are multilingual, we need help translating the mission statement video into other languages.  You can help with that here:

Thanks for your support.

Distracted driving - especially for teens and young adults - is a major cause of vehicle accidents.  Mobile phone use while driving is at the top of the list of distractions, and while I'd love for there to be a way to disable phones while the ca...

Most of us get frustrated whenever drivers slow down to gawk at an accident or someone getting a ticket (or a pretty lady holding up a sign for something). There have been explanations about why people do it: http://www.associatedcont ent.com/article/...
