So recently I have been giving more thought to this venture I have been dreaming about. It comes to me when I am reading the paper and see the demise of a rising star in the Florida legislature due to poor choices and No RKR. A state senator was recently brought into the limelight due to a alcohol fueled tirade on a colleague in a public venue that was witnessed by other adults. He was disrespectful, insulting and not at all responsible. It was so dreadful that he ended up with no choice but to resign from the Florida Senate. I think about how much we need a movement like RKR when I hear news stories about people who want to exercise their right to free speech but choose hate to be the focus of their speech. What would happen if the wave caught on and communities rallied around Respect, Kindness and Responsibility?
So the question I ask myself is, what should RKR be? Should it start as an apparel company that spreads a lifestyle message? Should it be a social movement complete with chapters and worker bees? Or, what if it were just a sentiment being thrown out like a fresh, clean sheet on a waiting, bare bed? So the question remains. How can I share an ideology? It IS simple, and yet it covers such a vast area.
Is it transferrable? In other words is RKR so simple that it is not subjective? Would RKR in TN look different from RKR in California. I think not, but their may be some subtle differences. I think at the end of the day, we can all agree that WE all need a little more RKR in today's world. So, will you help me start the wave? I will be working to design a t-shirt logo and just go from there. I am just going to go with it.
