Ubuntu and the tradition

Most the tech readers of this blog will see the title and assume this is about Ubuntu Linux.???? I am a fan but this is about the word more then the software that runs on computers.

I was listening to ???????The World??????? (http://www.theworld.org/) on NPR the other week driving some place and there was a great story titled: Africa report, not a great title but read the summary:

Former President Bill Clinton last month urged British politicians to adopt the South African philosophy of interdependence, called “ubuntu”. Reporter Amy Costello explains the tradition.

Listen to the report (4:10)

I think in after this much heated political season we would all be helped if the people in Washington worked to adopt this philosophy. Come to think of it, I think just about everyone would be helped if more people adopted this philosophy.
