We were lucky to have a special visitor at the Oakland DFA meetup last Wednesday night.

Like thousands of DFA'ers across the country we got together on January 5th to watch a short video featuring George Lakoff explaining the basic concepts of his enormous project reframing the debate in American politics.  Now, at the beginning of the meeting we'd been told there was a special guest.  And, since I was sitting on the left side of the room...and could see a man who looked a heck of alot like the guy on the video screen....ie. George Lakoff....

I had a clue exactly who that special guest was.

George Lakoff is impressive in person, and not just because he is smart and personable and conveys his ideas well...

He was also impressive to me because of some things he did with his participation at the meet up.
