Meaning: we're not changing the world?
ReplyDeleteNo, I meant it to celebrate the amazing potential we all have.
ReplyDeleteBut it felt a little disrespectful to use a quote that says "small group" when so many thousands of people worked so hard to achieve that.
Mead's quote is an inspiring classic - and stand on its own... but you've linked to something else too. When I follow the link I'm told the channel is off line and I can't see anything; what am I missing?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know the link was down: it was a live feed from Tahrir square, so I guess it didn't last long. I've replaced it with a youtube video that gives something of the same feel.
