Hello, Bob.
Thanks for that interesting story.
I remember reading about Margaret Mead in my college classes decades ago {I won't mention how many but the number rhymes with "door"}.
Well, I must say I'm surprised at this side of Margaret Mead-
not that I know her [okay, her work] well.
But it does put a new spin on one of her famous quotes:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
I guess it all depends on which thoughts those thoughtful, committed group of people are thinking.
