I don't want to hijack the thread for sure. I know it doesn't fit into any of Dan's questions - but it fits the title a bit - "where are we at". Where I am at is that I am thinking about the question "as power increases how to we get commensurate compassion?" - especially when the class sizes start increasing ("bringing it to the masses" ). So I decided to try to address this further where Ron already brought this question up.
