Terrific post, Alex. I hope you may be able to encourage a few of your peers to snap the twine. |

Dear Alex, |
|
This was the first article of this blog that I read. Coming back to it, I see why I was so impressed. Your writings are so fun to read, yet I learn so much at the same time. Thanks for sharing your talent! |

Enjoying my first read of your writings. Had to wonder, though, why you didn't include (here) the relative ages of Washington, and the others who stepped up at a young age to do the work of an adult. What were the life spans during each of their lifetimes? Can you come up with such a number? I'd much rather know how old they were in today's years, as it seems more pertinent to your editorial than how much Washington earned in today's dollars. Off to Part 2. |

Luv it!!!! |

You write beautifully. And I believe you actually believe what you are saying. I'm having trouble with the leaders of our country who use people like you and their faith, to gain power, and then destroy all that is God's creation. Namely, Bush, Rove, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Cheney, et al. So what is your sector's excuse for bringing us such hell-bent-leaders? Just curious. |

Great post. I had similar thoughts back when I was in school and chomping at the bit to do more than someone my age was allowed to do. Now that my oldest is 8 I want to give him as much opportunity as he shows himself capable of handling. |

....I'm sorry, but the story at the beginning of this post, I must call bullshit on. You see, I've had the honor of working with elephants in Thailand, they're the same kind of elephant used in India, and the training practices are similar. yet I have watched fully trained, perfectly loyal and friendly elephants tear down the trees they have been chained too in the night, for no other reason than they wanted to. I find it difficult to believe that an elephant of any kind would allow itself to be bound by a twig and some string, especially considering that the elephants I've worked with are much better trained than any you'd find in India. |
