Dave:

the book talks bout how "the world" is completely subjective. it isn't meant to be "the planet earth" necessarily. yes, it is possible but that is your world, but the dip teaches that "the world" is whatever you define to be. one of the examples he uses is to be the best organic goods retailer in the county or something like that.

by defining your world as something that's attainable, not only to you keep yourself driven, but you also don't set yourself up for failure like trying to be the very best soccer player in the world. it also keeps "the world" malleable. you're able to redefine how wide or narrow your world-view is and reach your goal accordingly.

Saying that someone can't have an opinion because they don't participate is just silly.

You complain about weather without participating don't you? The thing is, is that if Tynan could build a machine to change the weather, he would. As seen by his campaigning for Ron Paul. He pulled out all the stops during the primaries to get that man elected, do some archive and forum browsing to see what I'm talking about.

It's not apathy. He knows what issues are important to him and he knows who supports those issues. He won't vote for someone that doesn't support them. He doesn't write in a vote for Ron Paul because it's simply a masturbatory action. He can look at the figures and the voting history and all other information, and reason, logically, that his single vote, on a macrocosmic level, doesn't change anything.

@Clay

That's a flawed statistic. Yes, the popular vote only had a 538 person difference. But it would have been possible for Gore to have MORE vote and still lose the state.

Winning districts is what matters, not winning votes. Those five hundred votes were spread across the entire state. Bush won because he won the close battles in more districts, the popular vote is so close because Gore won a few districts by up to 100,000 votes. Bushes best victory was 50k.

Travel Guide.

People sign up with no idea what they're in for, just book a time period. You take them somewhere.

That way you get to continue to travel and are encouraged to go to new places and try new things.
