A Thought About Hillary Clinton

41. I presume that judo-like technique would require some heavy duty

public gratefulness in which local news in turn reports. A weakness I see has to do with how the Internet and its search engines are structured, more of a national and global interest, rather than local.

Perhaps someone should write some legislation requiring Google, the former "don't be evil" corporation, to return local results instead of national and larger? Google begins to do that, suggesting a few local news outlets, in our area, the major Tribune companies, but lots of grassroots stories by small town papers are invisible, they don't appear on the first page of results, if at all.

It is up to the user to manually check their local news outlets, which sort of invalidates the idea of a using a search index to find important local stories, including those based around gratitude. If you don't know which sites to manually check, you are sort of out of luck.

It's possible that by not having a cell phone, I'm missing a major set of tools or apps commonly used today, but this laptop or desktop basically still misses most local stories of interest.
