hopedance | People say that I am hard core about some of this stuff but I know
because I have been to Davos, and I’ve sat with Bill Clinton and I’ve
sat with Bill Gates and I’ve sat with Tony Blair and I’ve sat with Nancy
Pelosi. I’ve sat with all these people who we think are in charge, and
they don’t know what to do. Take that in: they don’t know what to do!
You think you’re scared? You think you’re terrified? They have the
Pentagon’s intelligence, they have every major corporation’s input;
Shell Oil that has done this survey and study around the peak oil
problem. You think we’ve got to get on the Internet and say, “Peak oil!”
because the system doesn’t know about it? They know, and they don’t
know what to do. And they are terrified that if they do anything they’ll
loose their positions. So they keep juggling chickens and chainsaws and
hope it works out just like most of us everyday at work. That’s real,
that’s real.
And so I’m hard on people, I try to tell a few jokes, you know, to make
it go down easier, but I’m hard on people. But I will tell you why I am
hard on people. This is real ball, this is the last chance, this is it.
I’m not telling you that; You go to places
like I go, and the Pentagon will tell you that. This is real ball and
people, for whatever reason, need sometimes a little encouragement. You
walk up to that limit of yourself and you want that limit, ‘cause that
wasn’t your limit yesterday and you go Whooo! I made it, now let me
start telling everybody else what to do. But the goal is over there and
every step hurts and every step is challenging and every step is
humbling but every step has to be taken or we’re not going to be here.
