Yeah, so I'm a cultural creative, too. Now what? Shall we band together and compare tangents? LOL.

Also ... MERITOCRACY? Where? Last time I looked, we were living in an old boy network, peppered with the occasional ineffective liberal backlash (or is that backwash) ...

Finally, congratulations on the law school thing. I'm not quite sure I understand it (as that was once to be my path, many moons ago when the land was green and religions were matrifocal), but it's acually a pretty big accomplishment.

thanks for the congrats, john.

and according to florida and ray, the meritocracy is the world of tomorrow, ruled by such as we.

so, we've got that to look forward to, right?

I've read the Ray book, and to be honest, I'm not holding my breath. Particularly in the narrowly focused theocracy my current nation of residence is becoming. I don't think there's enough time for us to agree that we need to do something, let alone mobilize and get it done. But we each do what we can, right? One mind at a time.
