Just a wild write-it-off before going to a meeting

It’s 6:30PM. In less than an hour I will be attending a meeting composed of three idealistic individuals foolish enough to think they can change the world. Or at least change people’s minds. A while ago I had lunch with a person working in an NGO concerned about social-entrepreneurship - teaching farmers how to create their own end products marketable to the mainstream with their crops, and adding other capabilities such as managing a business.
