From the Beyond Branding Blog:

The way Dean's campaign is being funded, the people won't let him forget his pledge to restore Truman's way: "The only expansion we are interested in is the expansion of human freedom and the wider enjoyment of the good things of the earth in all countries. The only prize we covet is the respect and good will of our fellow members of the family of nations. The only realm we aspire to eminence exists in the minds of men, where authority is exercised with the qualities of sincerity, compassion and right conduct."

I bumped into Wendy Norris yesterday at Art/Tech/Dance. She was asking for the signatures of Cuyahoga County residents to get Howard Dean on the ballot. Huh? The leading democratic candidate? I also spoke with another Clevelander who's having issues with a different institution's beauracracy. If we want to make this area an place where creative, innovative things happen, we need to tear down the barriers that prevent people from having the freedom to be creative and innovative. Period.
