If I may, I’d love to suggest A’s Dad, that you have Adam put up a blog for you as well! You don’t strike me as the sort of fellow who loves the limelight, but with the advent of the information age, and the inroads the internet has made into the lives of millions worldwide, there is a HUGE population of folks who seek out the value of human wisdom and experience online.

In many ways the crucible of events that your generation came from, built the foundation from which principled character and the wisdom of experience could grow, and become something more valuable than gold.

I know that there are fine examples of wisdom, character and dignity around me every day… although I may not know it is so. I can only hope that the current difficulties in the economy may force folks to reflect on where we came from, and re-examine the powerful value of life’s experiences that come from “Our Elders”.

In a great many traditional cultures, the Elders are recognized and respected, even venerated for the wisdom and experience they can bring to our conversation as people and a culture. We have moved away from that too much, and we are worse for having done so.

We need you guys (and gals), and the consul of your experience and longer view… more now than ever.

Anyway… just an idea…
