On leadership


I don't want to create a generation of leaders.
That implies most of this generation is doomed to sheephood.

I don't want to create a generation of compliance.
That just leads to blind baaing and more of what we already know doesn't work.

I want to teach kids how to live and work well, to live happy lives, to get to know the person they are, not the person they can never become.

If a child knows who she is and what she wants, she does not need a leader.
Others may follow her at their own peril, but that's not her problem, nor her desire.

Our "economy," sick as it is, requires a herd mentality and a few charismatic folks to lead tribes within our cult of personality.

I'm not here for the economy, I'm here for the kids.



We don't need no stinking revolution--
there's plenty of space to live a life worth living within these fine lands we call America.
