I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Neil Gaiman

“Five percent of the people think;
ten percent of the people think they think;
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead

Referring to democracy, "The will of men is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided. Men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence. It does not tryannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, until each nation is reduced to be nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd." Alexis de Tocqueville

Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

Enorbet, Senator Warren reminds me of some of the catholic nuns I was exposed to as a child in that her principles and her life are one in the same!! Such people are married to " right and wrong " at the hip; they do not " bend " their adherence principles for any reason whatsoever; not for relations, nor money, nor power, Nothing!! It is heartwarming to know that such human beings still exist among our dysfunctional species!!
