Former VP at Citigroup, BBA, MBA. Currently a whole diet farmer in VA, watching with incredulity the country giving Bush and Obama passes on their war crimes for the past 16 years. We all share responsibility for where we are and need to heal and fix the system that keeps us bitterly divided. On purpose. With purpose. Politically - and personally - I am a voluntaryist and believe no interaction with people, institutions, corporations, nor animal vegetable or mineral, should be coerced by the threat of use of the force of the state. If we threatened and forced children the way we are threatened and forced via the state, it would be considered abuse. And it is. I don't recognize as valid the thinking that 'authority' must be begged for permission to love the person of our choosing, or to ingest food and plants of our choosing, and though I'm not gay or a pot partaker I will defend your rights to the end. 'Freedoms' is a Bushism we all had to pretend was a real word when he made it up. Freedom is singular, and you either are, or you aren't. 'Freedoms' are not things we beg for, one by one, to be bestowed on us from on high. We need to remember our own power and that we are the bosses of our employees. I'm hoping to find the words to help us all.
