This I Believe: We Are All Related(Original written submission for National Public Radio's "This I Believe" Story Program, by Stewart Sarkozy-Banoczy, November 09, 2009)We are all related. I believe we are, though we try our best to deny it. We have had our share of global family feuds that make the ferocity of the Hatfields and the McCoys look like child’s play. Even the Berlin wall – the 20th

This reminder came in two forms – a

(originally posted to the Global Citizenship blog at the Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management)Building Community in Native ‘Nations Within Nations’Greetings global citizens. My name is Stewart Sarkozy-Banoczy, a 1991 Thunderbird graduate. First let me say it is a real honor and pleasure to be a part of this new adventure in blogging. I do a little blogging of my own for

I have always admired Paul Newman. Through my childhood his movies made an impression on me. When I did my stint in acting school and went to my auditions I thought often about those movies like The Sting, that my young mind and heart remembered. But it was my later impressions and experiences that made me admire him even more. During those 'creative years' in New York City one activity I got

I was driving home tonight from work and had just turned on to our little road south of Custer, near Pringle, not really paying attention. The house was just ahead and my two year old son, Rowan, was entertaining me as I glanced now and then at my Blackberry. I saw the deer cross the road out of the corner of my eye on the left and put on the brakes so I would not hit him/her. But it was not a

My friend and colleague (yes, we are both tainted community organizers), Greg Morishige, wrote this short introduction to a YouTube piece on community organizing, with a link to the video:"The complete disrespect of Obama's history as a community organizer is offensive, not just to Obama, but to the history of America and those who have fought to defend human rights.

What, you thought it was Sir Nicholas of France? I doubt my non-relation could wrap his love-sick brain around this vision. And it doesn't matter anyway.You may not believe in the man, but you must believe in some of the message: YES WE CAN.

A group of senators have come together to create a New Homestead Act (S. 602) with some very good intentions as rural populations shrink across the Great Plains and beyond - summary of bill below taken from Senator Dorgan's website where the bill is described as "Where history meets hope and opportunity". I understand where the hope and opportunity come from in these desperate and disappearing

The hum and wine of motorized vehicles in the national forest will never go away completely. Nor should it, I guess. But we have enough roads and trails for motorized vehicles. More than enough. In fact, my vote is to reduce the number of motorized trails and roads and open up more for hiking and other activities. It is a well known fact that we have a more roads here than practically

This passage below was started as a poem of some kind, but it took on the form of something different. Something that may have started with the words here. I had these thoughts as I listened to a news story concerning yet one more tragedy brought on by the hatred of one religion, one people, against another and the continuous struggle for power that so often occurs. I hope (yes, and pray) that it

"He's in." That is how the top of the fold story in the Rapid City Journal started. Good. I am pleased to see Senator Tim Johnson run again and it appears that his health is no hindrance, though as the race progresses I am sure much will be made of that, true or not. I hope that the people of South Dakota have enough sense to see through the smoke and mirrors that is sure to come when the

Sure, we have heard a lot lately about the foods and toys from China laden with a variety of toxins and tonics that have shocked the public. I think about my kids just like everyone else and wonder how bad it is. Or how bad it could get. We hear about journalists being detained for questioning the products at factories in China and being harassed on city street corners. It seems like
