Far beyond official Washington, we would seem to be witnessing a fraying of the bonds of empathy, decency, common purpose. It is becoming a country in which people more than disagree. They fail to see each other. They think in types about others, and assume the worst of types not their own.
The Fraying of a Nation’s Decency, Anand Giridharadas

This nation of tanned, toned, comatose vegetables is choosing to cash in its chips and spend them on the VIP Cabana at the pool, where they can be fed $10 soy-chai-mocha-lattes by legions of McVassals — instead of forging the path towards a better tomorrow.

It takes moxie to cover this song, and they did a great job.

Leaders are not what many people think–people with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see whether anyone is following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, determination, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head even when things are going badly. This is the opposite of the “charisma” that we hear so much about.
John Holt
