Dan, thank you!! I just love it…is it not the best illustration of AWNM? Could it be that some of my natural inclinations and proclivities may come into vogue? Being a Boomer, there is still plenty of time to play the last nine holes..barring any unforseen calamities or lightning hits!
Regards.
Have listened to your audio file “A whole new mind”, and it’s brilliant. I’m a designer, so it’s all good news for me, who have always done what I loved. What’s your view on the bailout from the US government, to preserve jobs? They don’t seem to be looking at the root of the problem, but solving a short term problem.

I started reading Free Agent Nation last night and loved your take on the irrelevancy of public education as it stands today. Public education is ideally based on the fundamental principles of the American democratic ideal (i.e., concern for natural rights of freedom and independence for the individual, as well as responsibility towards society). But today’s system really belongs to an era that defined democracy in an oxymoronic way: personal freedom through rule following and sticking to “a plan.” Most people agree that some kind of reform in education is in order, but still, millions of American parents trust the school system enough to hand over their kids every day. It’s almost as if most people are wearing front blinders, unable to see what lies ahead for themselves and their children. Today’s cartoon is perfect. If only more people would read your books 🙂
