Organization man. In the best sense creating the environment in which experiments can be savored and remembered. Then there is the world of interlocked organizations. A world of missions and contracts finely tuned and binding. Is the formation of associations as instinctual as nesting and gestation? A leader may be one who asks a question. Or may be one imposing order. Imposed through consensus and broad shoulders. Waits, watches, acts his part. I was impressed by the list of distinguished senators from Vermont. He placed himself among men, orators, imperfect, in history. We march forward, imperfect in our justice and compassion. Overriding logic with conscience sometimes, not often, when it counts. And mercy. A seemingly irrational, total abnegation of the markets, rules of war, law. Good to be so flawed.
