McCain was unable to make it to DC to vote on the bill that would restore workers? ability to go to court in cases of pay discrimination. But McCain was not ducking the issue. He made it clear that if he had been in Washington, he would have voted no because the bill ?opens us up for lawsuits, for all kinds of problems and difficulties.? How much straighter can talk get?

"Humans have spent 99 percent of our developmental time in the wild kingdom, which tutored us in what Rob Kall calls bottom-up values?small, local, interdependent, respectful, egalitarian and decentralized -- and which the world desperately needs in order to balance out some of the darker impulses of top-down values. His faith that bottom-up values represent a critical re-balancing act for humanity, if not an outright better mousetrap, is compelling and hard-won, and I offer him a high-five for his courageous inquiry into the deep wisdom inherent in our age-old intimacy with natural rhythms, native intelligences, and interconnectedness."
