From all over the planet they came…. They came in companies and alone, with money and without, knowing and naïve. They tore themselves from warm hearths and good homes, promising to return; they fled from cold hearts and bad debts, never to return. They were farmers and merchants and sailors and slaves and abolitionists and soldiers of fortune and ladies of the night. They jumped bail to start their journey, and jumped ship at journey’s end.

Everyone interested in licensing our field might note that the reason licensing has been invented is to protect the public, not designers or clients.

If we were licensed, telling the truth might become more central to what we do.

We can, and indeed must, have both.
Bill Clinton
