The plain fact is that the planet does not need more “successful people”. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind. it needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and human, and these qualities have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.

Protesting? Fine.
Supporting? Fine.
Holding a sign? Fine.
But don’t run alongside a Chicago police car and try to slash their tires. Don’t attack police officers who are there to keep the peace. They are doing their job, they are working hard, and they are there to keep people safe.
Happy NATO weekend Chicago.
I hate this.
These dreadlocked, mandala tattooed, OCCUPY masses swarming the CTA give us all a bad name.I might be a liberal,
But I still know how to properly use public transit.
And deodorant.
