I'm tired of talking about Dr. Cosby

So I'm telling everyone what I told the mailing list I mentioned yesterday. It's the last word, seriously.

Y'all sound like white people. Like a stern talking to ever worked on anyone older than 14.

The reason some folks won't listen to Dr. Cosby is he's solving his own problem, not theirs.

You don't even want to yell at them. You want to find out what they think they need, what they think they want. And since there's thousands of ways to accomplish any given goal, talk to them about ways of getting what they want that requires them to grow a little.

You cannot amputate a life's learning. But you can grow big enough that the old stuff looks like a small faded scar.

But P6, YOUR answer isn't simplistic enough to make good political rhetoric. I mean, I don't see a good bumper sticker in there at all.

Oh.

Nevermind.
