Governing Dynamics

Are you worried about the future of your child? What is the explanation for the swelling crack or the gap in our social structure; or the gap between the enormous potential your child, business or country has as compared to what many are reduced to?

This, Sir, Madam, is the difference we bring: the difference your child, business and country have been innately weeping for
