Last week, at the popular\u00a0South By Southwest techie conference, former president<\/del> vice president Al Gore gave us a straight-up line of U.S. politics and society today:\u00a0“Our democracy has been hacked.” In particular, Gore was focusing on Big Money’s takeover of our political system. Gore’s call to action? “Occupy Democracy!”<\/p>\n

“He pushed for the creation and implementation of digital tools and social media to ‘change the democratic conversation,'” the AP reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Gore talked of a ‘Wiki-democracy’ of ‘digital flash mobs calling out the truth’ and ‘a government square that holds people accountable.'”<\/p>\n

Sounds good to me.<\/p>\n
