They come because this ordsprog
 They come because this is the story of multiple generations of their lives. They've heard these stories all their lives and they want to see what this looks like on stage. |
LeVar Burton (1957-)
| My work has really involved a means to which I can tell a collection of similar life stories that together can impact other lives and perhaps policies that affect those lives to make them better. |
| We wanted to save as many lives as possible ... Serb lives and Croat lives and Muslim lives. |
| [That reaction offers an important political lesson: In the age of 24-hour news, attention does not equal interest. Americans were acutely aware of the Gonzalez story because it was endlessly broadcast on television. But, as it turned out, for most people that's all the story was: television. They watched it as they would an engaging soap opera. In the end, it had no more intimate connection to their lives than that.] The truth is, ... while the story was gripping, it was not involving. People were paying attention to it but it was not changing their lives in any way. |
| The exchange rate between first-world lives and third-world lives in disaster stories in the media is about 50:1. |
| The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out. |
| And our people are winning the hearts and minds of the citizens, ... Iraqi people would run out and wave to the helicopters as we flew by. I heard story after story told by soldiers about how grateful these people are to have potable water, schools, and even electricity in their homes - some for the first time in their lives. |
| It's saved lives from depression. It's saved lives from boredom. People tell me they quit their jobs after hearing my story. |
| We still have many stories to report ahead of us. How do people start to rebuild their lives? How do they find members of their families? How do they find out if their family and friends are even alive or dead? Where are they going to start their new lives? |
| I have always thought it morally unacceptable to kill stories, not to run stories, that people have risked their lives to get. |

| It's really a two-fold approach. First, the program emphasizes story sharing with the children. Then the adult session teaches you to recognize themes, morals of the stories and apply them to our lives as you're talking about the book with your children. |
