If I met the president at a salon

If I was at a salon enjoying a pedicure, sitting there in a relaxing chair with the delightful din in the air that one often feels in a salon, and sitting in the chair next to me was the President of the United States, what would I say?

First of all, I want to be clear from the outset that I would not be mean nor unpleasant with him (or her). Not at all. Even though I may write things on my blog which are intensely-worded, that has no bearing whatsoever on my comportment towards a human being in person.

And even though there may be ideas or areas of policy with which I am vehemently opposed, that does not at all preclude the possibility of having a fruitful, meaningful interchange.

I guess if I were to meet the President, more than anything else I would be honest and sincere, and also maintain the same sense of seriousness towards matters which deeply affect the world and about which I am highly concerned.

If anything, as I have in my meetings and conversations with many other people (in salons and other places), I would hopefully have a chance to impart to the President not just the benefits from but the utter urgency of changing paradigms which are deeply integrated into the makeup of our world but which are highly destructive.

I would try to impart the idea that much of the infrastructure that comprises the worlds we inhabit was built according to modes of thinking which are clearly unhealthy, unsustainable, and destructive and that changing them must not be a matter of mere loosely-conceived agenda about creating healthier communities, rather it must be seen as a matter of utmost urgency and the highest priority.

Not only changing the destructive modes which have been integrated into the infrastructures of the communities and the worlds we inhabit, but also having the ability to fully comprehend and quantify how and why human beings require the things that they do in order to be healthy and to fully thrive.
