What I am really interested in is that I want people to be thinking in other ways - to stop thinking they have to remain glued to a system that has failed and to ideas about society that's necessarily about being run by Democrats or Republicans.

Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.
