Very thoughtful; very hopeful.<br /><br />But there is an inherent problem with some of this:<br /><br />Create your community.<br />Be good to each other.<br />And do not look outside yourself for the leader.<br /><br />That speaks of co-operation, which, I have discovered, is virtually a lost art, when compared to "rugged individualism." Truth is that rugged individuals need each other, because not everyone can do everything. Co-operation is something in which I fervent believe, but which is constantly undermined by powerful people, who fear in it a loss of their status and power.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-60804922509328241792010-06-26T09:41:52.163-07:002010-06-26T09:41:52.163-07:00Butternut - You are a leader.
