Back when we lived in a state whose capital
city was such a soul-crushing place that I can't even bring myself to utter the name -- I'll say only that I'm super happy to be out of there -- I will admit that my kids attended a truly excellent private school, the one good thing about it.
(Incidentally, six years from now -- I know that's a long time -- we'll be moving to New Hampshire. Click here to come hear me speak this year at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, March 5-8.)
One day, Regina (my eldest daughter) came home from that school and told me there would be someone from Lockheed Martin speaking in her class the following day.
Now trust me: Regina was not and is not a gratuitous provocateur. But she's also a skeptic of
the establishment, including institutions like the military-industrial complex, and she thought she couldn't just sit there through questions like, "How fast do your planes go?"
So the night before, she and I crafted this question, which she was at pains to emphasize she was asking respectfully:
"Should Americans be concerned that a lot of people from LockheedMartin wind up in government, where they advocate military spending and foreign policy that
appear to benefit Lockheed Martin?"
This is the same Regina who, at age 7, responded to her friend's observation that the idea of "penny candy" seemed silly because a penny hardly bought anything, with: "Yeah, thanks to the Fed."
People used to make what they thought were friendly jokes when they would see I had five kids (now six, with the recent addition of Henry), and they would say (right in front of them!) how difficult
that must be and what a handful I had.
To the contrary, they have enriched my life beyond all measure, and I am prouder of them than I am of anything else.
And I love that they have independent minds. They're inquisitive, and they're not cowed by phony authority.
So after all this, I cannot send them out into the world and tell them, "Follow the advice your high school guidance counselor gave you -- if it worked in 1988, I'm sure
it will work today."
The fact is, the rules have changed, but also the tools have changed.
This is of course true for adults, too:
Work that would have taken weeks, perhaps even months, to launch a side business can now be done in under half an hour, and if you don't believe me, Paul Counts and I are going to demonstrate it today,
live.
Jot down the tools we use, and as soon as we're done you can duplicate our process yourself.
