...Vaswani, SydneyI always, always think of Gianni-if Gianni would approve of what I'm doing. Every fashion show, before the girls or the boys go on the runway, I close my eyes and think of him. Will Gianni approve of this? I tell myself, Yes, he will. He taught me everything I know. Even if my fashion changes, evolves with the millennium, the DNA is the same...
...much as anyone else. If the environment wasn't looking where it was going and was about to get hit by a car, I'd yell, "Hey, environment, watch out!" I get weepy when I see a poorly rendered CGI polar bear drown. But unlike me, Cassandra was taught to spend more time actually caring than remembering that she is supposed to. We flush the toilet only when absolutely necessary, for instance. Which, in my unenlightened opinion, would mean every time we use it, especially since her being a child of hippies means we have to take...

Much like the present Q system, students could...
...parents hand us a world driven mad by violence and fear. We inherit a legacy of consciously cultivated division and rage. We have been taught to fight each other, yet as youth, we have more cause than any group to be united. We share in the fact that as young people, we must inhabit this world the longest. As the most recent arrivals, we have the least stake in the old feuds and irrational strife of the past. Today—bound together by instantaneous global communication—we are conscious of this in a way no other generation...
