My previous post (which was cross posted to LinkedIn) regenerated over 700 reads in under two days. Thanks everyone for their comments, suggestions, leads, offers of connections, and encouragement. I wasn't expecting quite that much response! I am in your debt.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
