“That’s because both the job title and the job itself have never existed before. We used the term ‘ground-breaking’ to describe this position because that is exactly what it is.” Leonard Scott leaned forward. “The current Administration is committed to solving the greatest problems of our time—climate change, sustainability, the deficit, the impending crisis stemming from shortfalls in Social Security and Medicare, healthcare, and the problems that our nation faces as a result of an aging population. We are implementing a plan that will address all of these issues and will revolutionize the way that this country looks at retirement. Rather than continuing on in a bankrupt, broken system that meets the needs of no one, we are going to introduce American seniors to a new way of life—a holistic community that will engage them like nothing ever has before.”

“Kris,” Leonard Scott looked at her from across the table, “we are hiring a group of people who will take part in helping the U.S. achieve the most radical change it has ever seen.

“People frequently ask me, “But what will you do when you get into the real world?” I am then tempted to ask, “What makes you think that my world is any less real than yours?” After all, reality is relative. The world of a teenage runaway is certainly not real to an heiress, any more than the world of an Ethiopian who grows up, lives and dies in a famine-ridden country is real to the average, middle-class American. Who is to say which of these worlds is “real” since each is so different from the others? It remains a simple fact that although all of us are aware that many different lifestyles and cultures exist on this planet, the “real world” remains the one which an individual builds for himself or which someone else builds for him. The life that I enjoy may not be typical, but it is most certainly real, and I can think of no better lifestyle.”
