  1. Hey there, Landon!
    This is Emily Faith. I don't know how to post stuff- i guess I'm not good with blogs. :) I was wondering if you were planning to talk about specific cases or apps that other LDers are using.
    One thing that might help LDers this year is having a clear idea of what excellence is. Is it achieving a goal (quality health care, money in buisness, etc.), or a quality all its own (moral excellence, integrity, etc.)?
    Another thing is means. What it competition is just the framework/ context and cooperation is the means? For instance, all buisinesses compete in a free market system, but don't the ones that work together succeed? Same with athletics, right? Just some things to think about. ;)

  2. Hey Emily Faith,

    I don't think you'll be able to post stuff. I'm thinking that it would be best to email it to me (landonframe@gmail.com) and I'll have to post it.

  3. Oh, okay. Well, those were just some thoughts; I didn't have an article or anything. Great blog you've got, by the way. :D You sure are putting a lot of work into research! Have you ever done Team Policy? You'd like it.
