This planet does not need more "successful" people.

1. YEAH!

2. Yes.

"Success" as our culture defines it can be a very rotten place.

3. Those are the things that makes being human worth it

The definition of 'successful' as it is pushed by the people in charge will leave people alone, disturbed, angry, and paranoid; but hey, they're sitting on tops of stacks of cash, their subordinates, and their yes-men, so it was all worth it, right? Right?

4. They need to be successful at making the world more habitable and humane.

But not more successful in the Republican business sense.

10. Who wants to be successful if...

... success means being a member of the 1% club? If it means looking down on anyone not in the club? If it means having a cold heart for anything but self and money?

I don't accept their definition of "success." There can be no success where all are not equal. Where all are not able to feed, clothe and shelter themselves. Where all cannot find a job to support themselves and their families. Where there is unequal justice under the law.

I , for one, do not accept their definition of "success."
