Writing and Youth

-- Quote of the Day -- “Therefore we give voice to [young] people who, for the most part have never been listened to… In fact we are all just like the other and if not for some quirks in our DNA or our history we would be the ones behind bars, we would be the substance abusers, the ones abused. This has been the pinnacle of my career and I was fortunate to be apart of this – it is hard to describe how fortunate I was. …So we stress …that we are listening to them as if their voices matter – because they do.  …We want to hear how you ended up there and how we can make the world a better place. …It is their world; we have an obligation to leave it a better shape than we found it so that they have a chance.”  ~ Guy McPherson, Sept 12   Today's quote came from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio interview titled: Sustainable Living & Volunteering with Youth – which aired back on Sept 12th, 2010.  Click on the hyper-linked show title to access this interview...
