Al Fin: "Have You Always Wanted to Change the World?"

Quotes- Peter Diamandis:
How many things don’t happen because people don’t believe they can?
We’ve gone from a society where if something wasn’t prohibited then it was legal to a society where if something isn’t explicitly permitted it’s illegal

Things don't happen by themselves.  Things don't happen just because the time has come for it to happen.  Things happen because certain people have the will to make it happen.  That's what I believe.  That's also what I believe to be the thing that's missing in this society.   Better get it back or we're finished.

Offering prizes like Diamandis is doing is a good thing.  But it may not be enough.  You will have to weed out the weak elements.  That may take a bit of a ruthless attitude that nobody is prepared for.  Somebody like Obama may force this will to respond and assert itself or to forever slink with their tails between their legs into the background while letting the forces of decay to take over.
