Lucy to Linus (who is contentedly watching a TV show): “Change the channel!” Linus: “Do what?” Lucy: “CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!” Linus: “What makes you think I should just respond like that?” Lucy: (showing her hand) “You see this? These are just 5 little weak fingers. But when they are rolled together into something called a fist they become a weapon that is formidable to behold.” Linus: (after contemplating Lucy’s fist, changing the channel and then looking at his own little fingers) “Why can’t you guys get organized like that?” When people come together for whatever reason the question that often surfaces as people try to work together is “Why can’t we get organized together? Why can’t we become something which although weak independently, becomes formidably strong when it’s put together?”
