Creativity Strangled.

     In response to the talk given by Larry Lessig, my initial reaction deals with the first reference to John Philip Sousa.  I used to babysit for my grade school music teacher.   She performed with her husband in a band that strived to recreate the Sousa music, concert, and experience.  So, I am familiar with Sousa and his generation of thought.  [ www.upperdarbysousaband.com]

     The videos incorporated to the presentation were funny but the Jesus one made me a little uncomfortable because I belong to the Roman Catholic faith.

     I was really impressed with Lessig's speaking skills and his thought process.  He was very engaging and the talk was cohesive.  My favorite line of the presentation was made in reference to my generation: "They live life knowing they live against the law."  It makes me feel as if my friends and I have a really bad ass edge against the world.
