Personal Statement: To me the only "game in town" is how we human
beings are going to learn to live together on this planet, in a way that
not only lets us survive, but increasingly meets the needs of people on
this planet, so that human creativity and spirit can be unleased and humanity
as a whole and in its wonderful diversity can evolve, using technology
to improve our lives, while also living in harmony with, and as caretakers
of, our natural environment, planet earth. I am committed to do my small
part to see that these goals are achieved.
