don’t want to end up alone. I want to be around my friends and the people I care about. And the only way I can do that is... I can’t be the king of the hill and see my people suffering at the bottom of the hill... if I’m in a position to help them halfway up the hill, then that’s what I want to do. Without jeopardizing my position at the top of the hill, because everybody wants to be at the top. If you have too many chiefs and no Indians, it could be hard. But what’s a gift is to be appointed a chief and to recognize your Indians, and help bring them up and share that with them. I want to share. I don’t want to be the king; I don’t want to be the emperor. I just want to be a guy. I want to be the guy that can handle business on the top because of my instincts and my knowledge and my understanding and what I can do. I also want to be the guy that can walk to the bottom of the hill and be accepted and treated like a normal guy. Its time to get together with the kings of the other parts, of the other lands, get together and make a difference for other people. I feel like I have a gift... the gift of education. And I want to be able to make a difference, especially in my community and in Boston... that’s really important to me. And I want to come back here some day and do something special. Not in the business, in the community, in the neighborhood. Maybe build a center here, an arts center, or work with the mayor and help inner city kids that are underprivileged, or help with different programs. There are a lot of young kids on drugs and young pregnant mothers and there’s a lot of homeless people and just... that’s where the problems are. If we turn our backs on that, the world is going to be a tougher place to live in. There are a lot of other countries out there that do not have these problems, and work with these types of situations. Look at Holland. A doctor and a person that sweeps the streets make the same amount of money. It’s not about material things. Everybody and everything is the same. It’s not what you are, it’s who you are... thank you for the fun interview, God bless us.
