The role of leadership today is to encourage the embrace of a global ethics. An ethic that abhors the present imbalance in the basic human condition -- an imbalance in access to health care, to a nutritious diet, to shelter, to education. An ethic that extends to all men, to all space, and through all time. An ethic that is based on confidence in one's fellow man.

Is it wrong for me to love my own?
Is it wicked for me because my skin is red?
Because I am Sioux?
Because I was born where my father lived?
Because I would die for my people and my country?
God made me an Indian.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

Edward Abbey

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.


Herbert Simon

We can either choose to walk the high road of human brotherhood or to tread the low road of man's inhumanity to man. History has thrust upon our generation an indescribably important destiny - to complete a process of democratization which our nation has long developed too slowly. The future of America is bound up in the present crisis. If America is to remain a first-class nation, it cannot have a second-class citizenship.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
1959
