I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us, you're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you how this is going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you ... a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.

• Speak clearly.

• Speak easily, but not too much,

give others their turn.

• Do not interrupt.

• Be courteous.

• Deal seriously with serious

matters, gracefully with lighter ones.

• Never criticize people

behind their backs.

• Stick to subjects of general interest.

• Do not talk about yourself.

• Never lose your temper.

Cicero, On Duties (44 BCE)

Educating is always, always more powerful

than blocking.

There’s a difference between a teachable moment and a

punishable moment.
