So hey, maybe I've earned the right to ask (not demand, of course) that other people change the world for me in more frivoulous ways after all. #blink# Or maybe not, but at least I've got some world-changing of my own to point to. And I don't think the price of random public dancing will be as high as what I've paid for my freedom to be myself (yeah, there have been costs ... some painful). OTOH, until I'm willing to dance myself when I'm not holding a guitar, I'm still asking people to do what I won't, so my exhortations to dance carry no moral weight. Whoops.
I think you're wrong about this. You've made a huge contribution. You've done what you could and you've paid whatever the price was at any given time (including not teaching despite being a good teacher.) Making a demand/request of those who are capable of doing so is eminently reasonable. I'd ask you to lift down a box from the top of the fridge that I couldn't reach. Is that so wrong? You are a foot taller than I, thus capable of doing something I can't. I wouldn't ask you to do something I was unwilling to do nor something you couldn't do. We all should be expected to do that which we are able to do; expecting less of people is part of what is ruining our students and our society in general.
As for the rest of this, this is a public document......and we all know WHO is out there/in here. *HUGS* See my email to you.
