Synopsis

Here are the notes I read from for this episode.Following pattern of effective speeches and leadership to lead people to love doing things not obviously personally benefiting.If you've seen movie Patton, George C Scott delivers a shorter, cleaner, but better acted version.Compare what he's asking his men to do with what it takes to pollute lessWhat is required of us in environmental stewardship is almost nothing in comparison.I'll read it, but translate while I'm reading it. The language is obviously of the time and would cause him to be canceled today except that he helped defeat Rommel and Hitler and save the free world from the Nazis taking over, which probably even the most offended person would value.Some parallels:Germans - pollution, so when he talks of attacking Germans, think of reducing pollution. He leads his men to love attacking Nazis.Could you love reducing pollution? You won't risk your life.Fighting - reducing consumption, but less riskyGoing home - living without thinking about stewardshipLea
