More ideas from Tilghman

Question: Where are you from and how has that shaped you?

Transcript: I was born in Toronto, Canada. I think the biggest difference that I see between Canada and the United States where I currently live is the fundamental difference of whether the group rights are trumped by the individual, or whether the individual’s rights are trumped by the group. I think in Canada it is the former. And I think that has very much influenced who I am as a person.
