LBJ was an interesting character and a good study for leadership as a topic. There's a story about a civil rights activist asking him to do something politically impossible at the moment and his reply was to the effect "I'd love to but you have to make it possible." I'd learned of this about 25 years ago. That reveals a great respect for the vision of democracy upon which the Republic was founded. For the optimist: if something is possible it could be done, and it might be made possible. For the pessimist: even though something is possible it might not be done. For both: that's why we have elections. Over the next twelve years we could replace ever single member of Congress and the President twice. These days I tell people our political troubles will be solved by priests, not by politicians. The question is what gods will the priests sacrifice to. Which is why we have freedom of exercise. So quitcherbitichin.
I've discovered audiobooks lately myself -- I'll have to check this. Thanks to you and Colin.
