A billionaire could get people who have so much money to switch from the pleasure of acquiring to the joy of giving, or a committee could call other thought-shapers to the table – rabble rousers like Michael Moore, Robert Reich, Oprah, Greg Palast, Marianne Williamson.

And even now we could make a leap by moving to the life-giving Norwegian prison system.

And, I’m still on the directive I got from some automatic writing I did in 1989 telling me to charm the world. Stay tuned for Round Two of our Delights being uplifting and inspirational to us all!
