Cooperation wins!

The winner of this year’s Great American Think-Off has been announced. Blaine Rada argued that Cooperation Benefits Society more than competition does. His closing quote from JFK seems more appropriate now than it ever has been:

United there is nothing we can’t do, divided there is nothing we can.

Congratulations, Blaine, and congratulations New York Mills Regional Cultural Center for another year of the competition which, from what I’ve seen, gets a bit more publicity each and every year. This is good for thinking, as well as the rural/small town landscape of MN.

And, finally, a proposal if anyone at the Think-Off organization reads this: give the contestants a blog!
