"There used to be a good-ol'-boy network whose attitudes toward me ranged from "You uppity b****, how dare you?" to "Don't trouble your pretty little head about it, just do as I say." As this group retired and younger, more diverse newcomers took over, the situation improved vastly."
Heather Meyer
"I would say that is far truer of the people in San Francisco. I always say that [it's] a city full of people who actually DO "live and let live."
Mark Zorro
"Heather, I would strongly agree with you. I think San Francisco is a beautiful city, and I would live there in a nick-beat if I was bohemian. I just happen to be nonbohemian".

"There are more innovative ways than I can count on one hand for you or your firm to capture the candidate pool's attention in a meaningful way. Perhaps it's Twittering relevant news or creating a viral loop through a Ning group... . That allows you to develop not only respect but also the dialogue that has gone forgotten in our world."
