My friend (but no relation) Jason Chapman did this video as part of a project we worked on together with Vince and Dale as part of our Leadership Edmonton experience.
We are a generation apart but of one heart. I am so glad to see there are protest songs and the power of images and music still available to influence authority - and is still alive in some souls.
Thanks Jason. I hope readers of this Blog absorb and reflect on your work.

The big bad US, sigh.
ReplyDeleteOh yes let's all together and hug and smoke illegal substances and sing Kumbaya. That will solve what ails the world, surely.
ReplyDeleteKumbaya may not hurt...and sarcasm and hopelessness is not an option. The bigger question arisng is how are we developing our capacity to examine the consequences of our actions. Do we have the courage to identify the most significant threats, educate and discipline ourselves for wisdom and develop assets in our communities that enable others to think beyond immediate gratification, greed and their own interests? Awareness is a good start for we cannot wisely act on things we don't think or know about (we take action all the time without fully studying and understanding the situation... people need to study history to see the patterns of human folly that emerge. If we don't know history's lessons, we will be forever dombed to repeat it. A good education is enabling and powerful.
