in the history of democracy. let me explain why i say that. i'm wearing a tie that ronald reagan gave me he said doma democracy is not a similarly sport it's a now and then partisanship statement why do i say that well, first of all, you've got to participate there are various ways to participate you can run for offices o office or run for state and local government and that's participation by most people participate as citizens. and that's an important responsibility and a well functioning democracy. it's up to the people to find

out about the issues who are willfully to listens and a learn listen to argument and see how people feel and talk about it that's essential ingredients in making a democracy work and the commonwealth club is an outstanding example i think perhaps the leading example around our country of a place that promotes that idea. if you are lucky enough to be a speaker at the commonwealth club api i've been every speaker says to them this is a series group of people so think it over having something worthwhile to say don't try a lot of b.a. lesson they'll see through it you've got to be careful and fact
