I read about a really awesome movement called One Voice today with a website located at onevoicemovement.org. It's a movement acting towards linking up people across the divide between Israelis and Palestinians, mainly youth and younger generations that want to have hope in a more secure and peaceful future, by not focusing on differences, but focusing on working as `one voice'. Linking friends together across the divide makes the division between peoples blurred. This is such a `crazy movement' that it may just work, and it would be awesome if it did!

It's such an amazing movement that it has drummed up international supporters, such as IBM to contribute over $250,000 to this cause. Just imagine posters, bumper stickers, and youth soliciting politicians to not hold their group's personal agendas, but to work for a real compromise... It may be frowned upon by parents, but really... if we intend to rewrite history books and make peace, then an exciting / awesome / radical movement is definitly deserving of our best support. I cannot help but imagine the potential these Palestinian and Israeli `kids' may bring.

In other news, good job to the participants of this years grand challenge. Imagine a vehicle in an urban city, stop signs, traffic, and no driver. Thanks to many new products and ideas of many students, this is now a reality thanks to this advance research program. I look forward to what is next. : )
