Number 6, I look at myself...I look at anyone I know...and what was the absolute overriding influence in shaping what they became?

Their family.

I think it is still the number one influence in society everywhere, but it's way under the radar. It's so basic that people don't even notice it. They don't talk about it. But it's a bigger influencer than anything else under the sun.

Families are behind most of the major business entities in the world, and most of the major political powers too, and that ain't gonna change.

GG - Yup. You're right. I'm getting too old to storm the castle now, but I'll see about it next time around...assuming I return to this playing field.
