Say What You Need to Say


Ben and Carol Stowell live beside a dirt road in New Hampshire that becomes practically impossible during mud season.  For eight years, people came knocking at their door at all hours, asking to be rowed out.  Stowell finally posted a sign: “Mud! Pass at your own risk!  If you pass, the following charges will apply:  To use the phone - $5; to be towed out - $15; to have me come out and say, ‘I TOLD YOU SO! – free of charge!”
The end of the mud season came, and not one person had stopped for help   -from Yankee

Sometimes you have to say what you have to say.  Not saying what you have to say can affect everybody.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
