the quest for diplomacy (intro)

i want to be a diplomat...
point blank, i'd enjoy nothing more than being an advocate working on the side of peaceful efforts toward the common good.
if there's anything that i've learned from the emotional roller coaster of the american economy lately it's that there's a connected disarray in the united front of the EU... oh yeah and a more honest look at, again, financial crisis emotions in the far east.
this current situation is only an example, especially in the US. any way you slice it, we're not living in some silo that prior generations may have been able to. i believe that the most important skillset that anyone can have is that of being able to communicate with people to attain progress for a wide range of stakeholders. even what we are in the midst of currently may not be the most consequential circumstance that can arise from the interconnectedness that we share. over the next few decades, we're going to face many more challenges.
it's time to engage.
