"What is clear from the internal documents is that Clinton's loss derived not from specific decisions she made but rather from the preponderance of the many she did not make," Green wrote. "Her hesitancy and habit of avoiding hard choices exacted a price that eventually sank her chances at the presidency."

If she couldn't run a campaign, how could she run a country?

Ralph Waldo Emerson knew that:

"To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney, comes out of the din and craft of the street, and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself. The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough."

Three Carlin quotes I've used as email "Signatures" for years:

First of all, the important thing is to question everything
you read or hear or see or are told. Question it.
And try to see the world for what it actually is,
as opposed to what someone or some company or some organization
or some government is trying to represent it as, or present it as,
however they've mislabeled it or dressed it up or told you.

-- George Carlin

If you're born in this world you're given a ticket to the freak show.
If you're born in America you're given a front-row seat.

-- George Carlin

Live every day as if it's your last and eventually it will be.
You'll be fully prepared.

-- George Carlin

If you haven't already viewed Dr. Taylor's TED conference presentation, I highly recommend it.
