We try to do well and get things wrong as much as right. The core WASP culture is certainly being eaten away by the diversity and strength of cultures we are absorbing. But in some ways that has been our strength--to use whatever resources are at hand, be they material or human, and get on with creating the future. We've had such a wealth of both resources that there had been little to slow us down. Now if we can only find ways to live sustainably, with care for the environment and human rights and the long-term future, then, and only then, will we have lived up to the dreams of Independence. And only then will I know that the legacy I pass on to my daughters will be, not a burden, but a treasure..... Donal Philby San Diego
