changing my world

How do we get to a different outcome? Given that you don’t vote? (Russ)

Work to build through the promulgation of ideas and by example: freedom and liberty. If that culture is built, it will be reflected in the political process. If people want to be led by the nose, they will be.

The Tortoise and the Hare

One day a hare saw a tortoise walking slowly along and began to laugh and mock him. The hare challenged the tortoise to a race and the tortoise accepted. They agreed on a route and started off the race. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he’d sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race.

He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise, plodding on, overtook him and finished the race. The hare woke up and realized that he had lost the race.
