(Community Matters) from Austin, Lynn Meredith, Donna & Philip Berber, Courtney Spence and Turk Pipkin attending the Clinton Global Initiative in New York. Just off the phone with Lynn who’s already further inspired and excited.
Courtney’s Students of the World was featured in a video presentation.
Lynn noted a statement (I didn’t catch from who, lots of background noise) that our next president should be concerned about extreme poverty, extreme ideology and extreme climate change. It wasn’t Al Gore but evidently he hit it out of the park in his presentation today. Lots of conversation about renewable energy, and Al’s favorite line, “tax what we burn, not what we earn.”
Bill and Melinda Gates spoke and promoted the principle that all lives have equal value. This isn’t a principle that we’ve always lived by.
What an outstanding assembly of philanthropists and world leaders. McCain is speaking tomorrow and Barack will present via satellite.
