This is an inspiring piece, Don.

I admire your courage and conviction, stepping forward to apply what you've learned. Timidity may be an effective self-preservation strategy, but it seldom saves anyone else   By raising your voice, with noble intent, and bringing your talent and experience into issues that matter, you are, in fact "Leading Change."

I have no idea if I'll agree with your conclusions, but I already know I'm proud of you for offering them up!
