Dean makes the world sweet (he can't help himself)

As an Acad member I feel like a political insider. Speakers like Matt Dowd, and Gary Mauro are disarmed by our youth and squalid surroundings. Whether it’s Mauro tweaking his public remarks or Matt Dowd telling us *Censored by Public Strategies Representatives* speakers don’t seem to want to misrepresent the world to us.
Howard Dean- who requested not to be filmed- presented the world as a place we were obligated to change. Too long(in his mind) the last generation allowed republicans to create fear and then farm the resulting anxiety. Now, he believes people are tired of arguing issues that will never be resolved. Now, the country is ripe for the party of change.
Suprisingly, even when he was demanding commitment and public service from us he was uplifting.
Here are some examples:

“Democracy is not the natural state of humanity. It can die like any other human
Any other human construction.”

“Voting gets you a C[as a citizen]. It’s the bare minimum.”

“Freedom doesn’t mean for politicians to tell you how to run your life. We need people that understand that.”

“Volunteering for a campaign earns you a B. Then you need to run for office.”

“I don’t believe that you need to ‘wait your turn.’…unless you can’t win.”
