Asked at Wild Thyme Deli in Marina

Q: YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THE FLOW OF ONE THING—WHAT DO YOU STOP?

FOLLOW-UP: What does the phrase “feel the flow” mean to you?

ROBERTO SALAS | College Professor | Marina

A: Corruption. It is something that needs to be looked at in both the political and corporate world. We should also examine what’s being fed to the general public because they have a tendency to believe everything.

Be Aware: To have an awareness of what’s going on around you.

A: Drugs. If drugs weren’t as easy to obtain in the United States as they are right now, that would solve a lot of problems. A lot of crime is related to drugs. I read that 60 percent of people in jail are in there for drug-related crimes.

Be Cool: Letting things go the way they go one day at a time.

A: The insanity. I think everybody can agree with me that life is too damn hectic nowadays. Being a good American is directly related to how big your bank account is. We’re expected to be somebody we’re not.

Be Yourself: Go with who you are and what you believe in.
