Motivational Speech

We are the revolution.

It doesn't matter who is elected President in November. It doesn't matter if George W. Bush or Dan Glickman (of the MPAA) or Hilary Rosen or Michael Eisner or anyone else in power listens to us. If we do our job, they will have to listen to us. The future is ours to take, and ours to lose. Ask yourself, "How can I change the world - even if just a little - today?" and then go do it; talk about it later.

And don't "do" by yelling and tearing down and whining, but build, create, solve, innovate. (Violence is not only physical, after all.)

If I could live by the above credo, I would be doing well. (And, yes, everything I just said contradicts about 80% of the essence of this journal. But, we only cease changing when we are dead, and hypocrites always make the best critics.)
