The One-Sentence Challenge

This looks like fun. Jamais Cascio of Open The Future listed me as a person he'd like to see answer Richard Feynman's "one-sentence challenge": If all knowledge about your field were about to expire, what one sentence would you want to pass on to the future? (Feynman said about physics, "Everything is made of atoms.")

I couldn't figure out what my field was exactly, so I skipped that part, and just came up with this sentence:

The only freedom that can never be taken away from us (and hence our only area of true control) is our response to a situation.

Here are some people I'd like to pass this challenge on to:

Janis Cortese
Sidra Vitale
Fazia Rizvi
Sharon Casteel
Lyn Millett
Bruce Sterling
